based at the University of Oregon, was established in 1992
to provide technical assistance to organizations setting
up computer networks for connecting scientists in
new areas around the world. The NSRC helps
develop Internet infrastructure and network
operations communities by working directly
with the indigenous network engineers
and operators throughout Africa, the
Asia-Pacific region, Latin America-
Caribbean, and the Middle East, in
partnership with network operator
groups, universities, industry, and
government agencies. NSRC
is funded primarily by the U.S.
National Science Foundation
and Google, with additional
contributions from dozens
of public and private
organizations.This work is partially supported by the National Science Foundation’s International Research Network Connections program under Grant

Increase in maturation size after the closure of a high seas gillnet fishery on hatchery-reared chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta
Get PDFGillnet fisheries are strongly size-selective and seem to produce changes in size at maturity for exploited fishes. After Word War II, large-scale gillnet fisheries targeted Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in the high seas area of the North Pacific and the Bering Sea, but these fisheries were closed in 1993. To assess the effects of this high seas gillnet fishery (and its closing) on size at maturity, we examined long-term trends in size at 50% probability of maturing (L50) for chum salmon (O. keta) from three populations in Hokkaido, Japan. The L50 trends were statistically different among rivers, but showed similar temporal patterns with decreases in the 1970s and early 1980s and increases after the 1985 brood year. While fishery-induced evolution seemed largely responsible for this temporal change in L50 during the fishing period, natural selection and phenotypic plasticity induced by environmental changes could contribute to the increases in L50 after the relaxation of fishing pressure
