Location: Fraser Basin Project Summary
Dr. John D Reynolds of Simon Fraser University will be undertaking a project to enhance our understanding of the relationship between salmon and their ecosystems by examining how aspects of freshwater and riparian habitats affect salmon populations, and how adult abundance in turn affects ecosystem productivity for juveniles. This project will test quantitative links between proposed physical habitat indicators and past and current salmon abundance, as well as quantitative links between historical and recent salmon escapements. This new information will be used to inform future management decisions aimed at improving the sustainability of wild salmon stocks. This project will lead to a better understanding of the specific habitat requirements of different salmon populations in different areas, leading to more effective habitat protection and sustainable management of Pacific salmon fisheries. The information generated by this study will not only enhance our knowledge of the interactions between salmon and their ecosystems, but also improve the knowledge base on which future fisheries management decisions are based.
