Project name
The objectives of this survey are to: 1
Monitor the species composition, distribution, and abundance of pelagic sharks in the U.S. Atlantic from Maryland to Canada; 2 tag sharks for migration and age validation studies; 3 collect morphological data and biological samples for age and growth, feeding ecology, and reproductive studies; and 4
provide time-series of abundance from this survey for use in Atlantic pelagic shark assessments.
The objectives of this survey are to: 1
Monitor the species composition, distribution, and abundance of sharks in coastal Atlantic waters from Florida to Delaware; 2 tag sharks for migration and age validation studies; 3 collect morphometric data and biological samples for age and growth, feeding ecology, and reproductive studies; and 4
provide time-series of abundance from this survey for use in Atlantic coastal shark assessments.
This project collects fish, cephalopod and crustacean specimens from 500 to 2,000
m for tissue samples, specimen photos, and documentation of systematic characterization.
The objective of this project is fish and invertebrate sampling for biometric and population analysis of estuarine and coastal species.
The objective of this project is to assess the pelagic components of the ecosystem including water currents, water properties, phytoplankton, microzooplankton, mesozooplankton, pelagic fish and invertebrates, sea turtles, marine mammals, and sea birds.
This program provides certification training for NEFOP Observers.
This operation collects fisheries-independent herring spawning biomass data and also includes survey equipment calibration and performance tests.
This is a targeted research effort to evaluate the marine ecology of Atlantic salmon.
