Pacific salmon have immense cultural, ecological and economic importance to the west coast of North America. Two salmon researchers have worked extensively in the field with this iconic group of fish and have developed the first comprehensive field identification guide for the seven Pacific salmon species--sockeye, coho, Chinook, pink, chum, steelhead and coastal cutthroat--across five life stages, with detailed illustrations by Joseph Tomelleri and photographs by Tavish Campbell.

Autorenporträt
Sean Godwin is an outdoor enthusiast masquerading as a marine ecologist and conservation biologist, currently located at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. His research interests revolve around marine fish conservation, using field experiments and statistical modelling to evaluate the impacts of sea lice on the early marine life of wild juvenile sockeye salmon. As a researcher and field lead for Hakai Institute's Salmon Early Marine Survival Program, he spends most springs and summers in the field at Salmon Coast Field Station. Martin Krkosek is an assistant professor and Sloan Fellow in Ocean Science in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. He works on fundamental and applied questions in population ecology in the areas of conservation, disease, aquaculture, and fisheries. He works mostly on wet species such as salmon, herring, marine mammals, parasitic copepods, and waterfleas (plus their parasites). Our department has a long-term fieldwork program on salmon epidemiology and ecology based out of Salmon Coast Field Station in partnership with the Hakai Institute. Martin is an editor for the journals Proc R Soc B and CJFAS.
