The Salmon Enhancement Program resolves existing and developing challenges
associated with captive rearing, hatchery technology, and behavioral ecology
of salmon to sustain and rebuild endangered or depleted stocks and to increase
world seafood supply. The program is composed of two teams (the Hatchery
Technology Team and the Behavioral ecology team) that conduct basic and
applied research in fish behavior, and ecological interactions for cultured
salmonids. These activities focus on studying husbandry methodologies
and developmental biology, growth, nutrition, survival, and behavioral
and ecological fitness of cultured organisms. Research is applied to
improve efficacy of production and conservation hatcheries, and captive
broodstock and supplementation programs for recovery of endangered fish species.
