Finding keys to salmon resiliency through research

Sustainable fish populations depend on resilient ecosystems. With climate change, habitat loss and other environmental pressures posing significant threats to both fish stocks and their habitats, researchers at UNBC’s Quesnel River Research Centre (QRRC) are working to understand the impacts of those pressures on salmon and develop strategies to preserve salmon species for future generations.

UNBC scientists receive $5 million grant for salmon research in Quesnel Lake

While the project focuses on salmon populations in the Quesnel watershed, the team of researchers expects the findings to be application to other large lake systems in the Pacific Northwest undergoing climate change.
