Salmon Management in Southeast Alaska: An Examination of Multi-Dimensional Management

Creator:: Chrittenden, Whitney L.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon are culturally and economically important species to Southeast Alaska, where there is a history of large wild runs and supplemental production from hatchery programs. Salmon management in Alaska is divided amongst various governmental agencies. Non-governmental organizations also play a pivotal role in salmon management. To fulfill the requirements...

Effects of Current Hatchery Practices on Salmon Odor Recognition and Responses

Creator:: Lemanski, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Salmon hatcheries have been utilized throughout the Pacific Northwest for many decades to mitigate losses, supplement natural spawning populations, and to provide tribal, sport and commercial fishing opportunities. Currently, there is substantial debate on their efficacy and the potential threats hatchery-reared salmonids pose to natural populations. These concerns have lead...

Contribution of subyearling estuarine migrant coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) to spawning populations on the southern Oregon coast

Creator:: Nordholm, Katherine E.
Abstract:: The typical coho salmon life history has been characterized by juvenile fish that spend their entire first year in freshwater habitats before migrating into estuaries as smolts. However, reports of early migrating coho fry (age 0), including migration downstream to estuarine habitats, date back to the 1960s. Until a few...

Abstract:: Nearshore and estuarine environments along the U.S West Coast are ocean acidification (OA) "hotspots". Carbon dioxide-enriched water has been correlated with production losses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae at hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest. Limited and unreliable supply of larval seed has implications for the economic well-being of commercial...

Components of bovine plasma that enhance gel strength in Pacific whiting surimi

Creator:: Peters, Margo Y.
Abstract:: Proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins in Pacific whiting surimi occurs when the 50- 70°C temperature range is reached during standard cooking procedures (e.g. 90°C for 15 min). This proteolytic activity results in the softening of surimi gels. Bovine plasma protein (BPP) is the most effective of the food-grade inhibitors used to...
