| Notes | M.A. Thesis. A needed look at the forces that influenced fisheries management on the West Coast in the postwar period. Among the author's findings are, "that science was vastly too optimistic in its assessment of how much food could be wrung from the ocean on a sustainable basis," and "that salmon policy tended to be grounded in political, social, economic considerations, not what was known about the biology of the fish."
