Data and information in salmon stock- recruitment analysis Milo Adkison | University of Alaska Fairbanks | $96,041 Salmon stock-recruitment analysis is critically dependent on the types and quality of information available. This project will review the diverse types of salmon data (e.g., abun- dance and auxiliary data) and their effects on the quality of estimates of the stock-recruitment relationship. Results may have implications to other fisheries stock assessments. Juvenile sablefish condition and growth Anne Beaudreau | University of Alaska Fairbanks $224,333 This project addresses a major gap in knowledge about environmental factors (e.g., temperature, prey quality, and energy allocation) affecting sablefish during their nearshore life stage after settlement out of the neuston. A bioener- getics model for sablefish will be parameterized to evaluate juvenile sablefish growth potential under future scenarios of increased warming in the Gulf of Alaska. Somatic growth regulation in the Pacific halibut Josep Planas | International Pacific Halibut Commission $230,127 This study will investigate the effects of temperature, density, social structure, and stress manipulations on biochemical and molecular indicators of growth in Pacific halibut. Emphasis will be placed on the physiological responses to temperature, given the demonstrated importance of this
