- Last fall many salmon moved up a nearby river.
- Researchers collected salmon DNA from the air there.
- They worked close to a salmon hatchery.
- The study looked at Coho salmon in fall.
- The team put air filters beside the river.
- The filters caught salmon DNA near the water.
- The DNA in air was much less than water.
- This idea may help find where salmon are.
- Scientists will study weather effects next.
- The work was done by a university team.
