Salmon

The emphsis of this research theme is to develop better understanding of basic salmonid ecology, and so to predict responses to disturbance and design of effective conservation measures.

Natural history, zoogeography, and community dynamics

Habitat use and distribution

Productivity

Response to disturbance
