SAFS Seminar: Dave Beauchamp: Anthropogenic Impacts on Bottom-up and Top-down Processes Affecting Marine Survival of Salmon in the Salish Sea

David will discuss some recent results and emerging hypotheses related to marine survival of salmon in the Salish Sea. Bottom-up processes mechanistically link with top-down control of populations, and these interactions are mediated by environmental variability and human-induced changes in land and water use. He will discuss the implications of how natural and anthropogenic changes in water transparency and artificial light pollution have significantly increased the predation threat environment for juvenile salmon in the Salish Sea in recent decades.

Held in the Fisheries Science Auditorium, room 102.
