The Fish Ecology Division
focuses on understanding the complex ecological linkages between commercially
and recreationally important marine and anadromous fishery resources of
the Pacific Northwest and their habitats. Particular emphasis is placed
on investigation of the myriad biotic and abiotic factors that control growth,
distribution, and survival of important species and on the processes driving
short- and long-term population fluctuations.
The Fish Passage Program continues
a long tradition of research and development to solve problems of anadromous
fish passage on riverine systems impacted by dams and associated water regulation.
The Riverine Survival and Migrational Behavior Programs focus on understanding
migratory behavior of anadromous fish and the fundamental ecosystem processes
affecting their growth and survival. The Estuarine and Ocean Ecology Program
focuses on understanding the biotic and abiotic interactions in the estuarine
and ocean environment that are the major sources of population variability.
More information about specific Fish Ecology research programs can be found in the Issue Papers.
