SFOS Dean Vera Alexander talks salmon on KUAC's Alaska Edition

FAIRBANKS, Alaska—Where have all the salmon gone?

Vera Alexander was interviewed for KUAC's morning radio program Alaska Edition airing 1 September 2000. The topic was scientific research which might shed light on the low salmon runs experienced lately in Alaska and Canada.

Dr. Alexander touched on a number of issues including developmental remote tracking methods, recent unusual events in the Bering Sea, and the low salmon returns of the 1970s.
