Issues on Pacific Salmon Recovery
in the Northwest
Reproductive Biology and Conservation, March 28/29, 2002
A symposium jointly sponsored by the Washington State University
/ University of Idaho Center for Reproductive Biology and the
Northwest Fisheries Center of the National Marine Fisheries Service
will present information on reproductive biology and conservation
of salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. The objective
of this symposium is to provide a forum for the exchange of new
information and to foster communication among individuals interested
in salmon recovery in the Northwest.
Numerous factors are contributing to the declines in the salmonid
populations in the Northwest. The information presented in this
symposium will focus on factors that impact the reproductive
potentials of wild and hatchery populations and will include
information regarding the potential interactions of disease and
stress on reproductive function.
The symposium will include invited oral presentations as well
as a poster session in which everyone attending the meeting is
invited to contribute (see details below concerning the submission
of an abstract).
Location
University Best Western Inn, Moscow, ID
Dates
The symposium will begin at 1:00 p.m. on March 28th and it
will end at noon on March 29th.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Because of space, the number of posters that can be accommodated
is limited. Therefore, the program committee will select the
posters to be presented based on the submitted abstract. Each
abstract will be reviewed for scientific merit and content. Each
abstract should be 250 words or less in length. The title should
be in all caps; the authors and their affiliation should follow
on the next line. The beginning of the abstract should be indented
three spaces. Each abstract should contain a statement of specific
objectives, a brief statement of methods, summary of the results
and a statement of the conclusions. The deadline for submission
is 5 p.m. on Feb 15th; abstracts can be submitted as a Word attachment
to email (jcloud@uidaho.edu); by FAX (208-885-7905) or by mail
(J. Cloud, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Idaho,
Moscow, ID 83844-3051). Selection of the posters to be presented
at the symposium will be completed by Feb 22nd ; everyone that
submits an abstract will be notified of the outcome by email.
