Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A changing environment is not a new challenge for Pacific salmon. This group of fishes has proven resilient, persisting over millions of years while surviving massive changes in climate and physical habitats. There is therefore reason to believe that salmon will be able to adapt to the changes anticipated in association with global climate change. Indeed, the level of warming predicted for the coming century seems a surmountable challenge for salmon at the genus level. However, climate change is impacting and will continue to impact individual populations, driving marked changes in their ecology, abundance and life-histories. The distinction between species and population is important because the majority of ecological, cultural and economic values provided by salmon are manifest at local or regional scales and tied to specific populations, species and life-history types. Furthermore, it is typically at these scales that fisheries and fish habitats are managed. Although the influence of past climate variability on the productivity of salmon populations demonstrates sensitivity of these species to environmental change, unanticipated and unintuitive outcomes are possible given the complexity and diversity of the species and their life-histories. Understanding past variability and predicting future trajectories of salmon populations therefore requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that link environmental change to population productivity. This information can help to ensure that fisheries management serves to increase resilience of salmon populations and avoids actions that amplify potential negative consequences of climate change. This dissertation seeks to contribute to the informed management of Pacific salmon in a warming world through development of theory and in-depth exploration of cases where salmon populations have responded to changing environments. Chapter 1 considers the underappreciated phenomenon of temporal selection in fisheries and its implications for climate adaptation by salmon and other fishes. Chapter 2 tests a series of hypotheses that link observed warming in Lake Iliamna, Alaska to changes in sockeye salmon life-history and productivity. Chapter 3 describes a novel pattern of adult mortality in spawning sockeye salmon and demonstrates that low streamflow can create habitat conditions under which density-dependent spawning failure may occur. Chapter 4 describes changes in reproductive timing of Cedar River, Washington sockeye salmon and examines the relative influence of natural and artificial selection on phenological change and climate change resilience. Collectively, this research demonstrates some of the diverse responses that can be expected in salmon populations responding to climate change, emphasizes the importance of life-history and phenological diversity as adaptive pathways for populations impacted by climate change, and argues for management that maximizes these forms of diversity.

This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symposium "Pacific Salmon and Their Ecosystems: Status and Future Options',' and this book resulted from initial efforts in 1992 by Robert J. Naiman and Deanna J. Stouder to examine the problem of declining Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.). Our primary goal was to determine informational gaps. As we explored different scientific sources, state, provincial, and federal agencies, as well as non-profit and fishing organizations, we found that the information existed but was not being communicated across institutional and organizational boundaries. At this juncture, we decided to create a steering committee and plan a symposium to bring together researchers, managers, and resource users. The steering committee consisted of members from state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and private industry (see Acknowledgments for names and affiliations). In February 1993, we met at the University of Washington in Seattle to begin planning the symposium. The steering committee spent the next four months developing the conceptual framework for the symposium and the subsequent book. Our objectives were to accomplish the following: (1) assess changes in anadromous Pacific Northwest salmonid populations, (2) examine factors responsible for those changes, and (3) identify options available to society to restore Pacific salmon in the Northwest. The symposium on Pacific Salmon was held in Seattle, Washington, January 10-12, 1994. Four hundred and thirty-five people listened to oral presentations and examined more than forty posters over two and a half days. We made a deliberate attempt to draw in speakers and attendees from outside the Pacific Northwest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history when environmental temperatures vary over space and time. Despite temperature's significance, progress toward a quantitative theory of thermal adaptation has lagged behind empirical descriptions of patterns and processes. In this book, the author draws on theory from the more general discipline of evolutionary ecology to establish a framework for interpreting empirical studies of thermal biology. This novel synthesis of theoretical and empirical work generates new insights about the process of thermal adaptation and points the way towards a more general theory. The threat of rapid climatic change on a global scale provides a stark reminder of the challenges that remain for thermal biologists and adds a sense of urgency to this book's mission. Thermal Adaptation will benefit anyone who seeks to understand the relationship between environmental variation and phenotypic evolution. The book focuses on quantitative evolutionary models at the individual, population and community levels, and successfully integrates this theory with modern empirical approaches. By providing a synthetic overview of evolutionary thermal biology, this accessible text will appeal to both graduate students and established researchers in the fields of comparative, ecological, and evolutionary physiology. It will also interest the broader audience of professional ecologists and evolutionary biologists who require a comprehensive review of this topic, as well as those researchers working on the applied problems of regional and global climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law and policy of salmon protection and restoration are complex, and matters surrounding salmon implicate topics as varied as Indian treaty fishing rights, dam management and removal, international treaties, predator con¬trol, and climate change. Pacific Salmon Law and the Environment chronicles the diverse issues concerning salmon allocation, management, and restoration in the 21st century, providing the historical understanding necessary for an accurate perspective of the present-day problems salmon face. The book is a must-read for ecologists, biologists, attorneys, educators, activists, students, and others concerned about the fate of salmon in the Pacific Northwest in the climate-challenged 21st century. Book Reviews: "The leading authority on Pacific salmon law has given us this compelling and well-written book, by far the most comprehensive work ever done in the field. Importantly, he warns us that the very future of the Pacific salmon, the true heart of the Pacific Northwest, is at risk. The cause is long-time destruction of salmon habitat beginning with hydroelectric dams and high-yield logging, joined today by relentless climate change. Blumm's book vividly shows the importance of law in this field and the urgency of further law reform." --Charles Wilkinson, Distinguished University Professor, University of Colorado, and author of Crossing the Next Meridian: Land, Water and the Future of the West "Blumm's book is a comprehensive, insightful, and timely analysis of how the law has affected the Pacific Northwest's most iconic natural resource." --Sandra B. Zellmer, Professor and Director of Natural Resources Law Clinics, University of Montana School of Law "With passion and insight, Pacific Salmon Law and the Environment details the complex legal, cultural, and socio-economic struggle over the imperiled keystone species of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. At a deeper level this is also a story of the limitations of the legal system to address one of the most urgent environmental and justice issues of our time." --David Moryc, Senior Director, American Rivers "The definitive account of a legal struggle persisting over 40 years, written by the master scholar who tracked it all as it unfolded, this book holds invaluable insights for the future of the iconic salmon--and for all of environmental law." --Mary Christina Wood, Philip H. Knight Professor and Faculty Director, Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center, University of Oregon School of Law "Professor Michael Blumm's book is a most welcome reflection on one of the American West's most iconic and charismatic wildlife species. Pacific salmon have had a checkered history over the past two centuries, and today form the leading edge of an ecological crisis. Professor Blumm ably charts the legal history of salmon--from the time of U.S. treaties with Northwestern Native American tribes to the alarming, steady decline of Pacific salmon populations due to pollution, unwise development practices, and climate change. Pacific Salmon Law and the Environment chronicles the legal system's erratic efforts to protect and preserve salmon populations, and how the law may still save them from extinction. This book belongs on the shelf of every environmental lawyer, activist, scholar, and nature lover." --Richard M. Frank, Professor of Environmental Practice and Director, California Environmental Law & Policy Center, University of California School of Law

Book excerpt: Pacific salmon are an important biological and economic resource of countries of the North Pacific rim. They are also a unique group of fish possessing unusually complex life histories. There are seven species of Pacific salmon, five occurring on both the North American and Asian continents (sockeye, pink, chum, chinook, and coho) and two (masu and amago) only in Asia. The life cycle of the Pacific salmon begins in the autumn when the adult female deposits eggs that are fertilized in gravel beds in rivers or lakes. The young emerge from the gravel the following spring and will either migrate immediately to salt water or spend one or more years in a river or lake before migrating. Migrations in the ocean are extensive during the feeding and growing phase, covering thousands of kilometres. After one or more years the maturing adults find their way back to their home river, returning to their ancestral breeding grounds to spawn. They die after spawning and the eggs in the gravel signify a new cycle. Upon this theme Pacific salmon have developed many variations, both between as well as within species. Pacific Salmon Life Histories provides detailed descriptions of the different life phases through which each of the seven species passes. Each chapter is written by a scientist who has spent years studying and observing a particular species of salmon. Some of the topics covered are geographic distribution, transplants, freshwater life, ocean life, development, growth, feeding, diet, migration, and spawning behaviour. The text is richly supplemented by numerous maps, illustrations, colour plates, and tables and there is a detailed general index, as well as a useful geographical index.
