Abstract Excerpt:
Given that salmon ecologists wish to improve the resilience of salmon to unmitigated anthropic climate change, a paradigm shift is required: from monitoring, passive conservation, optimal harvesting, and enhancement (spawning channels and hatcheries) to predicting how salmon will respond to habitat and ecosystem changes that exceed the range of historical observations. To be useful, that new prediction ability must be translated into effective actions. The mobilization of this knowledge will lead to salmon fisheries and habitat managers being better informed and able to react quickly to unexpected events. The International Year of the Salmon (IYS) has presented this as a challenge to the world. The International Salmon Data Laboratory (ISDL) is a response to that challenge.
