Alaska Salmon in a Warming World: From too hot to just warm enough
UAF Associate Professor Peter Westley will discuss the variable role of warming on Alaska’s salmon and its impact on salmon-reliant communities in a free statewide webinar.
In some regions, warm summers are associated with unusual mortality, delayed migrations, and prespawning mortality on the spawning grounds. In other regions, warming is apparently 'just right' and is associated with historically high salmon abundances. In some regions, warming parallels increasingly observed occurrences of salmon in places that historically have been too cold. The talk concludes with a call to action regarding what tangible actions we can take to sustain the 14,000+ year relationship between salmon and people in Alaska.
Westley is associate professor, Wakefield Chair of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, and principle investigator of the Salmonid Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation Lab at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (seec-lab.com).
