Using oral history methods, scientists explore the lived experiences of women engaged in salmon set net fishing, and how their connections to Alaska's Bristol Bay and a subsistence way of life is critical to food security and cultural identity.
Scientists at our Auke Bay Laboratories conduct research to understand ecological processes that drive salmon populations in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. They also monitor and analyze bycatch of salmon in other commercial fisheries for groundfish.
We conduct a variety of genetic research on Pacific salmon, groundfish, and forage fish species to comply with regional, national, and international agreements and treaties for managing marine resources.
