      <abstract>The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments.  Special life history studies are conducted at times by scientific staff.  Current studies include reproductive studies on various shark species in the Gulf of Mexico. </abstract>
      <purpose>To develop life history information to support regional stock assessments.</purpose>
