This paper examines how the Alaska wild
salmon fishery industry has experienced ongoing challenges presented by the growing demands in the marketplace for farm-
raised salmon. It proposes a study to determine the factors that have influenced the problems currently facing the industry, while further exploring the degree to which Alaska salmon is a superior product over farm-raised Pacific or Atlantic salmon. Using historical records on wild Alaska salmon, it assesses the
data gathered in light of the purpose of the study and the
research hypotheses. Outline Chapter One Relevant Background Information Statement of the Problem Research Hypotheses Rationale Chapter Two Species Health Effects Chapter Three Research Design Statistical Analysis Data Collection Chapter Four Results Discussion Recommendations References
