JASM Mask & Vaccination Policies
As a reminder, proof of COVID vaccination will need to be provided at the Vaccination Check-in booth at the entrance to DeVos Place Convention Center before going to Registration to pick up your badge. Based upon significant challenges experienced by many registrants in obtaining Covid-19 booster shots, while we strongly recommend that all attendees get the appropriate Covid-19 booster, it is not being required for event entry. If you have exceeded the recommended time after your primary vaccination without getting a booster, we ask, but do not require, that you provide a negative Covid test.

|
Masks are required in all meeting venues. Speakers may remove their masks while at the podium giving their presentation. Masks should be worn at evening networking events except when you are actively eating or drinking, but masks will not be required at the Grand Networking Event on Thursday evening if we are able to hold it outdoors as planned.

Very little research has been published associated with Bonneville Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus clarkii utah, particularly adfluvial populations of Bonneville Cutthroat Trout. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of adfluvial populations of Cutthroat Trout across their distribution and will help guide future management efforts.

Shark depredation is a worldwide yet not well understood problem that is responsible for economic losses in both commercial and recreational fisheries. The authors of this paper collaborated with fishers from the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific to identify depredating shark species via mitochondrial DNA barcoding of partially consumed fish from real-world depredation events.

The Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment model (EDT) is a deterministic, life cycle-based habitat model developed to support the conservation and recovery of declining Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. and steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss in the Pacific Northwest. This paper describes the integration of EDT with long-term research, monitoring, and evaluation in the Okanogan River in the state of Washington to support the ongoing conservation and recovery of steelhead listed under the Endangered Species Act.
