	note = {Oregon populations of wild coho salmon were in decline until they were listed by the Federal Government as threatened populations in 1998.  Subsequent efforts to restore coho included reducing hatchery production, restoring habitats and cutting allowable harvests. At the same time, ocean conditions improved, favoring adult salmon survival. In this paper, the authors{\textquoteright} objective {\textquotedblleft}was to assess change in the freshwater production of juvenile production of juveniles (smolts) through time in order to determine if recent increases in adult abundance could be related to management affecting the freshwater juvenile production{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).   Interestingly, the authors did not find any improvement in the survival of juvenile fish per spawning salmon. Instead, they attribute the rebound in coho population to improved ocean conditions.  Various aspects of this complex fishery management issue are discussed.},

	note = {How do you determine the size of a population when that population{\textquoteright}s density varies over space and time, when precise sampling methods are too expensive, and when that population is concealed by water?  This is the issue facing fisheries biologists.  In this technical paper, the authors look at proxy methods for calculating abundance, and discuss methods for calibrating and validating proxies.  {\textquotedblleft}The calibration and validation of proxies is a prerequisite for responsible ecological applications . . . , and the techniques described here provide empirical measures with which to judge the usefulness of proxy information.{\textquotedblright} (p.126)  The paper provides links to supplemental material.},
