Hello prospective 25th Northeast Pacific Pink and Chum Salmon Workshop attendees,

This is the FINAL Call for Abstracts and Registration. 

We are getting close to the 25th Pink and Chum Salmon Workshop - 13-15 February in Juneau, Alaska.   Workshop attendance is currently at 68.  We currently have 48 contributions (talks & posters) and there is still 1 slot open for an oral presentation (better hurry!!) and plenty of room for more posters.  Consider sharing you research with others through a poster.   A list of current speakers & titles will be posted on the website within the week.

 

  Early Registration extended to Friday, January 27th.  https://www.regonline.com/25thpinkchumworkshop

  Last day to submit abstracts is Monday, January 23rd. Contact a session leader (contact information below).
