AREAS OF EXPERTISE AND INTEREST

My doctoral research on salmon population variability (dissertation Title: Low Frequency Climate Variability and its Effect on Salmon Production) has involved collaboration with professors from the Schools of Fisheries, Oceanography, Statistics, Atmospheric Sciences, and Quantitative Science. It is my contention that salmon production dynamics must necessarily be environmentally driven and that their response to climatic conditions is identifiable and quantifiable. Through the use of novel (to fisheries) statistical techniques, I demonstrate that large scale variability in Pacific Salmon populations is driven by interdecadal climate regimes. I hypothesize that four distinct climatic regimes have transpired during the 20th century: 1900- 1923, 1924-1946, 1947-1976, and 1977-present. I document the evidence for these regimes and propose a model for the mechanism whereby atmospheric and oceanic physics drive the level of salmon production. The statistical methods I utilize are time series analysis and principal component analysis. The results of this work have significant repercussions on management strategies of Pacific salmon, particularly in regards to artificial enhancement.

Dating from my Peace Corps work in 1982, I have worked to help establish fisheries conservation regimes in several regions of the world (South Pacific, West Africa, Middle East). In many countries within these regions, access to precious fish stocks is sold as a means of generating hard currency. Most hope to one day develop the ability to exploit these stocks themselves. That requires, however, that a) the stocks remain healthy until that point and b) they profit from the presence of foreign vessels in terms of acquiring critical information on location, composition, timing, etc. of the catches. Unfortunately, many of the foreign companies actively prevent this information from becoming available for the very reason that they might be displaced. My objective in pursuing such work is to assist in developing the technical capability to plan the rational utilization of fisheries resources.Previous efforts to this extent include:

1. Review and revision of terms and conditions of licensing agreements allowing access to resources
2. Design of biological monitoring and enforcement programs that reflect in-country limitations (budgetary, legal, personnel), including preparation of manuals, forms, sampling gear, etc.
3. Development of data processing systems to provide rapid turnaround of information
4. Preparation of numerous reports (mostly internal and confidential) on status of stocks and industrial fisheries impacts
5. Presentation of methodologies and findings at symposiums and workshops- Provision of scientifically based management advice to Ministry officials

During my tenure at the Foreign Fisheries Observer Program, and later while working on my Master's thesis, I witnessed the transition of the north Pacific groundfish fishery from a foreign to a wholly domestic operation. Despite warnings from certain corners, and experience gained around the world in other newly developed fisheries, it has taken but a short time for the groundfish fishery to become as contentious and overcapitalized as many/most other domestic fisheries. In recognition of these problems, I advocated a cooperative approach to development of management measures for the fishery, and worked to this end during the developmental stages of the Domestic Observer Program. My recent work, part of an Adaptive Management approach to Columbia River Basin salmonid management, will assist in development of a standardized database that will facilitate interaction among concerned agencies.

PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

     The bulk of my work at the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) has revolved around the issue of halibut bycatch in the domestic groundfish fisheries.  In particular, I developed a model to address concerns in how the IPHC "compensates" the halibut stock for bycatch mortality, particularly the mortality of juvenile halibut which are in the process of migrating to their eventual home grounds.  This is an age and sex based model and incorporates a migration matrix that can be modified over the possible range of migration patterns.  The model was developed as a Visual Basic application with a user-friendly interface.
    Other work I have done here includes establishing a SQL database for the Observer Program halibut bycatch data.  Users can now query a single, uniform database when looking for patterns in halibut bycatch.  I also revisited the sampling methodology used by observers collecting halibut bycatch data.  I proposed a new method that should ensure a more standardized dataset than we have obtained in the past.  More recently, I have begun an investigation in the causes of the decadal-scale variability observed in halibut growth and recruitment.  The hope is that I can tie this in to my work on Pacific salmon.

 I recently completed my doctoral research.  My work concerned the population dynamics of north Pacific salmonids and their production variability in response to large scale meteorological and oceanographic conditions.  This work yielded valuable new insights on why north Pacific salmonids show such extreme variation in production.  Much of my work involved the use of modern time series and spatial statistics.
 During my first year of doctoral study, I was involved in a long-term Adaptive Management project, assembling Columbia River Basin salmonid hatchery release and production data.  Both number and weight of releases have shown continuous increase since the late 50's, mostly as a result of mitigation efforts.  Hatchery salmonid contribution to fishery catch and escapement, however, appears to have leveled off, and possibly declined in response to increased releases.  This work was under the direction of Dr. Ray Hilborn.

As Demersal Finfish Section Head for the Oman Marine Science and Fisheries Center, I was responsible for directing research and providing biological input into management of the industrial and artisanal demersal fisheries. To accomplish these tasks, I established and oversaw an onboard biological sampling program on the demersal trawl fishery, training and supervising a corps of 10 Omani technicians. A front-end menu system was developed for the fisheries database permitting rapid data entry, error checking and report generation. On the basis of sampling results, several potentially harmful trends in the fishery were identified, including declining CPUE, shift in species composition to smaller, low-valued species, high incidence rate of threatened sea turtles and competitive interaction between the commercial and artisanal fisheries. As a result of these findings, new management measures, reliant upon sampling data, were instituted. This work was part of a four-year USAID project designed to provide fisheries expertise to Oman. All methodologies, research findings and management recommendations are provided in the Project Final Report cited under Publications and Reports.

Provided a blueprint (in the form of a Master's thesis) for the successful implementation of a Domestic Observer Program for the north Pacific groundfish fishery. While completing my thesis, I collaborated with management and industry personnel on the design and operational aspects of a fisheries sampling program aboard domestic groundfish vessels. This effort was critical in maintaining a time series of fisheries data on the groundfish fishery during its transition from a foreign to a domestic fishery. As field work for the thesis, I served as lead observer on factory trawlers participating in the Port Moller cod fishery.

Participated (as graduate teaching assistant) in an 18 month fisheries management training program for a corps of West African government personnel. During three quarters of graduate study, taught courses on fisheries resource development, microcomputer use in fisheries and sampling systems design. I also assisted the students in preparation of term papers, overseeing their research and directing them in use of the University's libraries.

As World Bank consultant, designed and taught a foreign fisheries observer training program in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. Pre-departure activities included rewriting two NMFS sampling and enforcement manuals, overseeing their translation to Portuguese; selection, purchase and transportation of gear; choice of assistant, and a crash course to learn Portuguese. In country, administered entrance exams to 90 applicants, selecting 40; then delivered daily classroom instruction for seven weeks, teaching sampling and enforcement duties aboard foreign fishing vessels. Prepared a comprehensive species identification manual, wrote two reports on program administration and accomplishments, and aided in identifying future requirements for a long term program.

Member of staff responsible for training, debriefing and data analysis for several hundred north Pacific fisheries observers. Assisted trainers with monthly classes, explaining various sampling routines and life on board different nationality vessels; interviewed returning observers to assess validity of sampling methodology, evaluated reports for completeness and accuracy; prepared data for keypunching, assembled data summarizations in response to requests from scientists and industry; equipped monthly classes with gear and forms; oversaw continuing research on a fish product recovery rate study; wrote instruction manual for computerization and correction of observer data. Made three separate observer trips aboard two Japanese longliners, one Korean and two U.S. factory trawlers.

Operated a remote artisanal fisheries station in Guadalcanal Province, Solomon Islands during Peace Corps tour of duty. Upon arrival reorganized and formulated a management scheme for fisheries station, aiding in transfer of inshore fisheries responsibilities to Provincial government. Raised 100% of operating funds through purchase, transport and resale of fish. Operated a fishing gear resale store; supervised 4 assistants in coordinating station activities. Conducted three workshops to teach local villagers use and maintenance of fishing gear. In order to ease fishing pressure on local fishing reefs, initiated and conducted research on artisanal deep sea fishing techniques. Wrote two grant proposals, both funded, for construction and deployment of Fish Aggregation Devices; and construction of Samoan deep sea fishing rigs.

Managed the Great Lakes Regional Fish Larvae Collection at the University of Michigan for doctoral candidate. Responsible for organization and maintenance of collection, while continuously updating records as new specimens were added. In related assignment, performed field sampling expeditions and laboratory analysis of collected fish, larvae and plankton samples for research group studying fluvial discharge effect of nuclear power plant on Lake Michigan. Used and evaluated experimental larvae species identification key; took length frequencies, sexed, noted spawning condition and presence of parasites in collected fish. Edited, verified and assisted in manuscript preparation.

Worked a variety of scientific laboratory and field collection positions to help defray costs of undergraduate education. Principle jobs included assistance in conducting mastodon and mammoth research: I was responsible for library search of relevant literature on mastodon kills and cleaned fossils for study; and participated in research on amphibians grown for tumor studies: fed and cared for specimens, checked frogs for tumors, raised crickets in controlled environment for nutrition study.

DETAILS OF ACADEMIC CAREER

 Dissertation: Low Frequency Climate Variability and Salmon Production.  The overall focus of the research project that funded my graduate study was an examination of the linkage between long-term production dynamics of Pacific salmonids and atmospheric and environmental fluctuations in the northeast Pacific.  In particular, my role was to compile and analyze a 60 year time series of Pacific Rim salmonid catch and escapement data.  Through use of multivariate space-time series analysis, I characterized the manner in which changes in the dynamics of large scale north Pacific physical oceanographic features relate to time and space dynamics of salmonid production.

Master's Thesis: In Search of a Viable Domestic Observer Program: Cooperation or Confrontation? In my thesis, I examined the management problems associated with the change of the north Pacific groundfish fishery from foreign to domestic exploitation. Following an analysis of the controversial issues, I proposed a biological data collection program and implementation that would suit management purposes, yet be responsive to concerns of the fishing industry.
