Welcome

Research at     the Western Fisheries Research Center focuses on the environmental factors     responsible for the creation, maintenance, and regulation of fish populations     including their interactions in aquatic communities and ecosystems. Within     these pages you will find research information on Pacific salmon; western     trout, charr, and resident riverine fishes; desert and inland fishes; aquatic     ecosystems and their resources, and many other topics.

| -  Dave Hewitt  is a research fishery biologist at the  Klamath Falls Field Station ,  Klamath Falls, Oregon.   Dave helps guide a research and monitoring program for two endangered catostomids  Lost River  and  shortnose suckers  in the Upper Klamath Basin of Oregon and California.  Dave and his colleagues are using quantitative tools such as capture-recapture to investigate the ecology of the two sucker species and factors inhibiting their recovery.  <MORE>-  In 2004, WFRC initiated a historic long-term collaborative research project with federal, state, and tribal partners on the ecological effects of removing the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams on the Elwha River, Washington.  <MORE>
