Federal Fishery Research in the Pacific Northwest Preceding Formation of Northwest Fisheries Center

摘要

This report traces the historical developments beginning in the late 19th century which led to the establishment in 1971 of the Northwest Fisheries Center (NWFC), now the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center (NWAFC). The scientific programs of the various predecessor agencies which eventually came together in 1971 to form NWFC are described from those early beginnings.
