Journal Entry   Back Maine FPC Science Workshop at UM Focuses upon Hatchery-centric Atlantic Salmon Recovery Programs Northeast Region, June 28, 2005 Print Friendly Version An interagency workshop was convened at the University of Maine, Orono on June 28 and 29, 2005 to reinvigorate ongoing efforts for using hatcheries to restore and recover Atlantic salmon populations. In concert with NOAA Fisheries, the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission and other partners, the Maine Fisheries Program Complex coordinated the development of this two-day workshop to bring together agency scientists and leaders, researchers from academia and cross-programmatic participants from within the Service to establish a working dialogue on factors that limit salmon recovery. Dr. Don Campton (Regional Geneticist, Pacific Region) and Dr. Barry Berjekian (NOAA Fisheries Norhtwest) participated, as did several scientists from the Northeast Fisheries Center, Lamar, PA. Some of the highlights included paradigms for fully integrating hatchery production with wild salmon sustainability goals, reintroductions using different life stages and modeling approaches to recovery. Panel subgroups further addressed constraints and limitations to Atlantic salmon recovery successes. Some of the conclusions from this workshop were: Explore use of "surplus" Atlantic salmon adults (both captive pre- and post-spawners) as a potential stocking tool for recovery; maximize use of parr but do not abandon Craig Brook's fry stocking program; proactively seek peer reviews and external checks on programmatic progress; promote hatchery and stocking evaluations; continue progress on Broodstock Management Plan; and promote and/or develop concepts for experimental populations and streams. This workshop was a huge success in bringing together partners and colleagues for active scientific dialogue. It was also highly successful in re-solidifying partnerships that keep the focus on the mission while developing new and innovative scientific approaches for solving complex Atlantic salmon restoration and recovery questions.
