For millennia, Pacific salmon have been integral to the health of coastal ecosystems and human communities from California to Alaska. Salmon are ecological and cultural keystone species, connecting marine and freshwater food webs and supporting thriving fisheries. Yet, wild salmon have declined precipitously due to a combination of factors including dams, overharvest, hatcheries, and climate change. Efforts to recover salmon populations have struggled to reverse these trends.

 

In this engaging Kraw Lecture, Eric Palkovacs will describe the development of transformative approaches to recover wild salmon populations by connecting novel insights from genes to ecosystems. Learn how this integrative research program spanning the fields of genomics, physiology, behavior, and ecology can provide insights to transform the future of Pacific salmon and the ecosystems and fisheries they support.
