Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, School of
Browse by
The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences programs encompass undergraduate and graduate teaching, research and service in basic and applied aquatic sciences with an emphasis on fisheries management and aquatic resource conservation. Our faculty, staff and students have access to myriad aquatic habitats and rich biological resources, and they are involved in interdisciplinary partnerships with other academic programs, as well as public and private organizations and environmental and regulatory agencies. They are continuing SAFS' long tradition of actively addressing major issues in the aquatic sciences.

BUILDING EFFECTIVE FISHERY ECOSYSTEM PLANS
(2016-11)Connections matter. That is the unifying principle of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM). Ecological connections matter because fishing affects target species, predators, prey, competitors, bycatch species, and ... -
Adult low pH exposure influences larval abundance in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)
(2019-01)As negative effects of ocean acidification are experienced by coastal ecosystems, there is a growing trend to investigate the effect ocean acidification has on multiple generations. Parental exposure to ocean acidification ... -
Genetic and epigenetic insight into morphospecies in a reef coral
(2017-08)Incongruence between conventional and molecular systematics has left the delineation of many species unresolved. Reef-building corals are no exception, with phenotypic plasticity among the most plausible explanations for ... -
Germline DNA methylation in reef corals: patterns and potential roles in response to environmental change
(Epigenetic Studies in Ecology and Evolution, 2015-10-01)DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays an inadequately understood role in gene regulation, particularly in non-model species. Because it can be influenced by the environment, DNA methylation may contribute to ... -
Local adaptation limits lifetime reproductive success of dispersers in a wild salmon metapopulation
(University of Washington School of Aquatic & Fishery SciencesPublished by the journal "Nature Communications" at: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140417/ncomms4696/full/ncomms4696.html, 2014-10)Demographic and evolutionary dynamics in wild metapopulations are critically affected by the balance between dispersal and local adaptation. Where populations are demographically interconnected by migration, gene flow is ... -
NPAFC Research Coordination, 2002
(University of Washington High Seas Salmon Research Program, 2002-10)This report summarizes the results of research on high seas salmonids conducted in FY 2002 (1 October 2001·30 September 2002) by the High Seas Salmon Research Program, Fisheries Research Institute (FRI), School of Aquatic ... -
NPAFC Research Coordination, 2001
(University of Washington High Seas Salmon Research Program, 2001-09)This report summarizes the results of research on high seas salmonids conducted in FY 2001 (1 October 2000-30 September 2001) by the High Seas Salmon Research Program, Fisheries Research Institute (FRI), School of Aquatic ... -
Reconstruction of Bristol Bay sockeye salmon returns using age and genetic composition of catch
(2012-12)The purpose of this report was to reconstruct historical sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) runs to Bristol Bay, Alaska for use by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) in evaluating biological escapement goals ... -
Electronic Journal of Applied Multivariate Statistics
(FISH 560, 2008-01-01)The ecological sciences have experienced immense growth over the course of this century, and chances are that they will continue to grow well on into the next millennium. There are some good reasons for this – ecology ... -
Estimates of the Bycatch of Yukon River Chinook Salmon in U.S. Groundfish Fisheries in the Eastern Bering Sea, 1997-1999
(University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, 2003)Record low runs of chinook salmon to the Yukon River in the late 1990s intensified concerns about salmon bycatch by U.S. groundfish fisheries in the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). We estimated the bycatch ... -
Initial Biological Responses at a Restored Floodplain Habitat, Hansen Creek, Washington
(2012)Streams with intact floodplain connections are important to juvenile salmonids during their freshwater residence, providing refuge during periods of high flow as well as prey produced in emergent marsh and terrestrial ... -
Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring at Seahurst Park 2010: Year 5 Post-Restoration of South Seawall Removal and Baseline for North Seawall Removal
(2011-06)This report describes monitoring of benthic invertebrates at Seahurst Park, located on Puget Sound in the City of Burien. A seawall on the south side of the park was removed in February 2005 and the intertidal beach ... -
Alaska Salmon Research 2010
(2011-06)Preseason and inseason forecasting continue to be central features of our fisheries management activities. Preseason forecasts are very important to processors and fishermen for planning their capacity for the coming season, ... -
Olympic Sculpture Park: Year 3 monitoring of shoreline enhancements
(2010-09)In January 2007 the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park (OSP) opened at a site along Seattle’s urbanized Elliott Bay shoreline. The park includes enhanced shoreline features designed to benefit juvenile salmon and ... -
2010 Arctic Yukon Kuskokwim (AYK) Sustainable Salmon Initiative Project Final Product: Climate-Ocean Effects on AYK Chinook Salmon
(2010-11)A high-priority research issue identified by the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim (AYK) Sustainable Salmon Initiative (SSI) is to determine whether the ocean environment is a more important cause of variation in the abundance of ...
