Salmon Research at BML -> Salmon Management Tools

BML salmon research has resulted in a variety of tools that enhance understanding and investigation of salmon biology:

Interactive Salmon Restoration Map: This web based interactive GIS mapping tool allows users to map a variety of features relevant to salmon restoration, including population data, watershed information, ocean surface currents, and more (joint project of the Sonoma County Water Agency, BML and UC Berkeley).

Genetics Software Tools: Three downloadable software programs allow users to identify parentage and population origin of an individual fish based on genetic markers (microsatellite loci).
Above: Discrimination of fours stocks of Sacramento River Chinook salmon using microsatellite markers.

Publications: This list provides citations for 200 publications on salmon physiology, ecology and management from BML researchers.

Ultrasonic Reproductive Assessment and Cryopreservation Techniques: BML scientists have developed methods for the assessment of reproductive condition in salmonids using ultrasonography and refined cryopreservation techniques for gamete preservation, a critical tool for “gene banking” in captive breeding programs.
