	title = {Otolith Morphometrics as a Tool for Conservation and Management of Chinook Salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus tshawytscha</i>)},
	year = {2019},
	note = {The otolith is a small calcium carbonate structure found in the inner ear of vertebrates. In fisheries, otoliths have been used to age fish.  This interesting Master{\textquoteright}s Thesis describes a technique to use otolith shapes and morphology to identify different stocks of Chinook salmon.  The author notes that, {\textquotedblleft}fishery managers are concerned with successful identification of mixed origin Chinook salmon stocks, as well as the health and condition of hatchery-origin fish and their impacts on wild populations. Therefore, this thesis examines ways to improve stock discrimination to provide a more useful tool for fishery managers.{\textquotedblright} Color photographs.},
