Workshop Review

摘要

The workshop demonstrated that information on stock identification is essential to our understanding to the marine ecosystem, potential effects of global warming, as well as the roles of hatchery releases. Significant progress has been made in stock identification, and techniques are changing rapidly with the emergence of new technologies in genetics, tagging, and microchemistry. Coordination and scientific exchanges among Pacific Rim nations is essential to insure continued progress, reduce unnecessary duplication, and maximize research opportunities.
