collapses. We cite specific research on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) habitat to illustrate how nonscience
influences can interfere with the dissemination of scientific information and
the conduct of science in the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
The present framework for linking fisheries science with fisheries management
has permitted, intentionally or unintentionally, a suppression of scientific
uncertainty and a failure to document comprehensively legitimate differences
in scientific opinion. We suggest that the conservation of natural resources
is not facilitated by science integrated within a political body. The
formation of a politically independent organization of fisheries scientists,
or some such reorganization of the link between scientific research and the
management of natural resources, merits serious and open debate.
