Steelhead Meetings
Every two years, the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, with support from Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration, sponsors workshops on steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) management. Topics for these workshops include stock status, Endangered Species Act (ESA) activities, life histories of steelhead, life histories and historical abundance of steelhead, and technology applications for steelhead studies. The workshop is usually structured as a series of panel presentations, followed by discussion and/or questions from the audience. The workshops are intended as a forum to allow steelhead managers and researchers on a coastwide basis to discuss common problems and to share insights into possible solutions.
