Description:Predicting salmon returns is a critical part of salmon management, however models used in the past such as the Ricker stock recruit relationship, are not performing well in today’s rapidly changing environments. This workshop will walk participants through the range of models used to predict salmon returns, and then explore new strategies for building better models.
