Symposium to address abundance & productivity trends for Chinook salmon
October 03, 2012
“All Alaskans have a stake in the health of our Chinook salmon resources,” said ADF&G Commissioner Cora Campbell. “This Chinook Salmon Symposium will provide an opportunity for an exchange of information and ideas between top fishery scientists and stakeholders to further inform our comprehensive research plan. I greatly appreciate the commitment and efforts of all those engaged in this symposium and have a keen interest in the results.” The symposium will feature scientific presentations and panel discussions from a wide variety of experts from private, state, federal, and academic backgrounds. The goal is to discuss gaps in knowledge of Chinook salmon abundance and productivity, and seek input on a targeted list of research priorities to fill these gaps. A draft analysis of knowledge gaps and associated research recommendations has been constructed by ADF&G scientists and will be made available prior to the symposium so the presenters, panelists, and the public will have the chance to review and provide constructive input on the research recommendations.
