23144 Fisheries Ecology Branch (FEB) Project Published / External 23138 Ecosystems & Aquaculture Division (EAD) Project In Work The Fisheries Ecology Branch employs a multi-disciplinary approach in evaluating the environmental conditions and mechanisms that affect recruitment, distribution, growth and survival of fisheries on the Northeast continental shelf. Biotic processes such as reproduction, fertilization, development, growth, metabolic rate, trophic relations, and survival are investigated in relation to abiotic factors such as temperature, carbonate chemistry, dissolved oxygen, contaminants and other stressors. The Branch develops methodologies, provides ecological information to managers and stakeholders, and establishes a mechanistic understanding of the dynamics of living marine resources including their susceptibility and resilience to present day and future environmental challenges. Branch expertise includes, but is not limited to, marine chemistry, fisheries biology and physiology. https://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/ead/#fishecol Online Resource HTML Fisheries Ecology Branch web page. 27478 Data Set gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:23144 Patricia Jones 2015-02-18T10:57:17 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2022-08-09T17:11:09 2016-06-28 Northeast Fisheries Science Center NEFSC 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543-1026 USA (508)495-2000 https://www.nefsc.noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday 1001 Public No 2016-06-28 1 Year 2017-06-28
