This report provides the 2008 fishery and limnology results from the Afognak Lake system and fulfills annual reporting requirements to the US Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Subsistence Management, the funding agent for this project (project 07-401).
This report summarizes the fishery and limnological results from the 2004 to 2006 season and compiles all of the available historical data associated with the Afognak Lake system.
Presents data collected in 2004 for a three-year study (2004-2006) assessing smolt abundance, spawning and rearing habitats of sockeye salmon in Afognak Lake.
The Afognak Lake sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka run severely declined in 2001 and has remained low since. Concerns expressed by local subsistence users to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the US Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Subsistence Management prompted an investigation of the lake's rearing environment in 2003 followed by subsequent annual studies. This report provides 2009 project results, a summary of results from 2007 and 2008, and an evaluation of limnology conditions and their effects upon smolt production.

"The book covers fishery assessments, habitat and community manipulations, and common practices for managing stream, river, lake, and anadromous fisheries. Chapters on history; ecosystem management; management processes; communications with the public; introduced, undesirable, and endangered species; and the legal and regulatory frameworks provide the context for modern fisheries management."

This Companion is comprised of 27 original contributions by leading scholars in the field and summarizes the state of anthropological knowledge of Indian peoples, as well as the history that got us to this point. Surveys the full range of American Indian anthropology: from ecological and political-economic questions to topics concerning religion, language, and expressive culture Each chapter provides definitive coverage of its topic, as well as situating ethnographic and ethnohistorical data into larger frameworks Explores anthropology’s contribution to knowledge, its historic and ongoing complicities with colonialism, and its political and ethical obligations toward the people 'studied'
British Columbia¿s Skeena River is one of the great salmon rivers of the North Pacific. The river and its fish have supported indigenous peoples for thousands of years. More recently, the Skeena has earned world renown for its recreational fishery and magnificent wilderness setting. Yet, over the last century, fish populations have declined from overfishing, habitat alteration and, to an unknown degree, climate change. Development of mining as well as oil and gas resources may also pose threats to fish populations.This book presents the first thorough review of the salmon stocks and freshwater species of the Skeena River. Initial chapters summarize the river¿s environment, fish, and fisheries. The book then examines the physical geography, development history, indigenous use, and major salmon stocks of each of the watershed¿s sub-basins. This volume makes available for the first time¿to researchers, field biologists, fishermen and natural history enthusiasts¿both the published, and largely unpublished, literature on this productive salmon ecosystem.
