Fisheries Program's Research Topics

Fish and Aquatic Organism Health Understanding disease to support the management and restoration of aquatic species.	Species Diversity and Life History Aquatic species diversity is the hallmark of healthy aquatic ecosystems.
Genetics, Genomics, and Molecular Biology These tools offer invaluable insights into fishery resource problems.	Aquatic Community Ecology Functional relationships among aquatic species for conserving and restoring aquatic community function.
Imperiled Aquatic Species Research on stressors and habitat requirements of imperiled aquatic species to inform their restoration.	Fish Passage and Dams Improving fish passage is vital for restoring populations of salmon and other migratory fish.
Restoration Science and Technology Research and technology for restoring aquatic species and aquatic habitats.	River Science Rivers are the conduit between inland waters and the oceans for fish, nutrients, and sediments.
