     MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS OF CO-OCCURRING NATIVE 
     AND NON-NATIVE FISHES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
     
     October 27-28, 1998
     Portland, Oregon
     
     The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and the National 
     Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are sponsoring a workshop on the 
     effects of non-native fishes on native anadromous and resident fishes.
       
     The objectives of the workshop are problem definition, identification 
     of appropriate management strategies, and establishment of a basis for 
     subsequent policy making by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission 
     and NMFS.
     
     We are interested in presentations in the following areas, with an 
     emphasis on the consequences of interactions and appropriate 
     management responses:
     . History of introductions and the current status and distribution of 
     non-native fishes in Oregon, California, Washington and Idaho.
     . Case studies of the interactions, impacts and/or management of 
     non-native and native fishes.
     . Case studies of successful management of non-native and native fish 
     species together.
     . Examples of measures taken to eliminate or reduce ecological impacts 
     by non-native fish species and the resulting outcomes.
     . Importance and value of recreational fisheries for non-native fish 
     species.
     . Any other assessments or management actions which contribute 
     directly to the objectives of the workshop.
