Considering Life History, Behavioral, and Ecological Complexity in Defining Conservation Units for Pacific Salmon

摘要

This report details the conclusions of a scientific panel that was convened at the request of NOAA Fisheries to summarize scientific thinking on questions regarding the biological relationship between hatchery and wild Pacific salmon populations, and between resident populations of rainbow trout and related steelhead populations. The panel included scientists from a range of specialties that pertain to the questions, including population biology, evolutionary genetics, and especially salmon and fisheries biology.
