The unit provides financial support and guidance for graduate training in fishery and wildlife biology and management.

Fisheries research emphasis is on the ecology and fisheries of aquatic ecosystems, alteration and contamination of Alaska freshwater and evaluation and development of cold water fisheries techniques. Wildlife research is directed toward habitat relationships, avian ecology, wildlife population dynamics, and the impact of northern development on wild animals and their habitats.
