Genetic Principles & Methods for Fisheries Managers
North Central Division of the American Fisheries Society
The North Central Division of the American Fisheries Society in
conjunction with the Walleye, Centrarchid and Salmonid technical
committees is sponsoring a workshop on Genetic Principles and
Methods for Fisheries Managers.
Agenda: The discipline of genetics as applied to natural
resource management has experienced rapid technical development
in recent years. This workshop will be designed to provide
fisheries managers with technical information necessary to
interpret findings and recommendations from recent studies of
fish genetics and will cover management of both wild and hatchery
stocks. The instructors are Anne Kapuscinski and Loren
Miller, University of Minnesota; Eric Hallerman, Virginia
Tech; Dave Philipp and Bob Fields, Illinois Natural History Survey;
and
Jeff Koppelman, Missouri Dept. of Conservation.
