Recent research suggests that hatcheries have been an important factor contributing to the decline of salmon runs throughout the Pacific Northwest. This dissertation research project is designed to cast historical light on the construction of management policies through time, with particular attention paid to the emergence of artificial propagation as the primary tool of salmon management. The Oregon salmon fisheries serve as a long term case study of the intersection of federal, state, and private understandings of salmon management. Archive-based research will focus on correspondence between government administrators, fishery managers, industry leaders, and fishermen. The research is designed to illuminate the varied understandings of the nature of salmon and to discern the relative influence of economic interests, political agendas, and science in the shaping of fishery management. A central question is why artificial propagation emerged and remained the primary tool of salmon management when there was little scientific support or demonstration of its efficacy. A historical approach to this question should help scientists and managers better understand the forces that have shaped fishery science and its application over time.

最近的研究表明，孵化场是导致整个太平洋西北部鲑鱼产量下降的一个重要因素。这篇论文的研究项目旨在揭示历史上随着时间的推移管理政策的构建，特别是人工繁殖作为鲑鱼管理的主要工具的出现。俄勒冈州的鲑鱼渔业是联邦、州和私人对鲑鱼管理理解的交集的长期案例研究。以档案为基础的研究将集中在政府管理者、渔业管理者、行业领袖和渔民之间的通信。这项研究旨在阐明对鲑鱼本质的不同理解，并辨别经济利益、政治议程和科学在渔业管理形成中的相对影响。一个中心问题是，在几乎没有科学支持或证明其有效性的情况下，为什么人工繁殖出现并仍然是鲑鱼管理的主要工具。从历史的角度来研究这个问题，应该有助于科学家和管理者更好地理解影响渔业科学及其应用的各种力量。
