This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries genetics researchers will find invaluable the thirty-eight peer-reviewed contributions in this book, presented at the 20th Lowell Wakefield Fisheries Symposium "Genetics of Subpolar Fish and Invertebrates," held in May 2002 in Juneau, Alaska. Looming over concerns of lost fisheries stocks and persistent erosion of genetic variability are predictions of global warming, which may further tax genetic resources. One consequence is an increased reliance on genetic applications to many aspects of fisheries management, aquaculture, and conservation. The contributions in this book are important to modern fisheries science and genetics, and illustrate the evolution of the field over the past decade. The improved technology provides tools to address increasingly complicated problems in traditional applications and ecological and behavioral studies. The union between molecular and quantitative genetics, where many of the major questions about population structure and evolution remain unanswered, will also benefit from the new technologies.
Download or read book Stock Identification Methods written by Lisa A. Kerr and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-10-15 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock Identification Methods provides a comprehensive review of the various disciplines used to study the population structure of fishery resources. It represents the worldwide experience and perspectives of experts on each method, assembled through a working group of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The book is organized to foster interdisciplinary analyses and conclusions about stock structure, a crucial topic for fishery science and management. Technological advances have promoted the development of stock identification methods in many directions, resulting in a confusing variety of approaches. Based on central tenets of population biology and management needs, Stock Identification Methods offers a unified framework for understanding stock structure by promoting an understanding of the relative merits and sensitivities of each approach.* Describes eighteen distinct approaches to stock identification grouped into sections on life history traits, environmental signals, genetic analyses, and applied marks* Features experts' reviews of benchmark case studies, general protocols, and the strengths and weaknesses of each identification method* Reviews statistical techniques for exploring stock patterns, testing for differences among putative stocks, stock discrimination, and stock composition analysis* Focuses on the challenges of interpreting data and managing mixed-stock fisheries

Download or read book Selection and Use of Indicators to Measure the Habitat Status of Wild Pacific Salmon written by Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key component of the Wild Pacific Salmon Policy is the conservation & stewardship of habitat for wild Pacific salmon. To focus & support habitat conservation & stewardship efforts, a suite of indicators at a range of scales is needed. This report represents a consolidation of a background information review & workshop project conducted to provide an overview of the state of habitat indicator development for wild Pacific salmon and to propose candidate indicators. After an introduction on the Wild Pacific Salmon Policy and the project study approach, chapter 2 presents an overview of Pacific salmon life history stages, habitat utilization, and relationships between salmon production & habitat characteristics. Chapter 3 summarizes previous activities related to development of salmon habitat indicators and frameworks for indicator selection. Chapter 4 contains a table of candidate indicators of habitat status. Chapter 5 lists data sources in British Columbia to support the candidate indicators. Chapter 6 briefly discusses several watershed-based programs related to wild Pacific salmon habitat & indicators. Chapter 7 is a summary of the salmon habitat indicator workshop findings; the full workshop report is appended. The final chapter makes recommendations for identifying a suite of habitat indicators with a view to optimizing the potential for successful implementation. Other appendices include a detailed preliminary analysis of the candidate indicators.

Download or read book Genetic Conservation of Salmonid Fishes written by Joseph G. Cloud and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the human population increases and nations become more industrialized, the habitat and water quality required for the survival of fish continues to decline. In addition to these environmental factors, fish populations are directly or potentially affected by harvesting, enhancement programs and introgression with hatchery-propagated or transgenic fish. To our knowledge no other scientific meeting has been assembled to consider the breadth of the problem, to review the technology that is presently available for the preservation of the germ plasm of salmonid stocks and to identify the scientific advances that are required to overcome the problems. Because many salmonids have spawning grounds within the confines of a specific region or county but will spend a large portion of their life cycle within the territorial waters of other countries or in the open ocean, the preservation of unique genes or gene pools in these animals requires international cooperation. This scientific meeting has provided a forum in which to discuss the problems, evaluate the present methods or technology for addressing the problems and suggest new directions or innovations that need to be implemented. During this meeting we limited our discussion to salmonid fishes. However, the general conclusions about the factors that affect the population dynamics of fish stocks and the technical aspects concerning the preservation of germ plasm will be applicable to other fish species.

Download or read book Roadside Nature Tours through the Okanagan written by Richard Cannings and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Okanagan attracts thousands of visitors each year to enjoy its beaches and wine, but more and more people are discovering its natural beauty. With desert sands and deep lakes, towering rock cliffs and rich benchlands, cold mountain forests and hot grasslands, the Okanagan has an ecological diversity unequalled in Canada. Roadside Nature Tours through the Okanagan opens with an introduction to the region’s biodiversity, climate, geology, and human history, setting the stage for the route descriptions that follow. Richard Cannings then takes us on twenty-one tours through the valley, from the arid benchlands of Osoyoos to the snowy forests east of Vernon. The routes vary from main highways to quiet roads, and along each one we’re introduced to the animals, plants, and bedrock that create this national treasure. Each route also has a focal topic, ranging from owls to salmon and rattlesnakes to rock rabbits.
