This project will evaluate the importance of Sargassum as a nursery habitat for fish in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Sargassum is thought to serve as nursery habitat for recreationally and commercially important fishes in the Gulf of Mexico, such as gray triggerfish and mahi mahi. However, information about the nursery function of Sargassum for juvenile life stages of these fishes is lacking, and managers know little about the environmental factors that drive variability in Sargassum abundance and distribution.
The relationship between Sargassum and fish recruitment will be used to develop a long-term forecast system to provide fishery managers with a way to link changes in weather, ocean, and climate conditions to changes in Sargassum and subsequent changes in fish recruitment. This study will try to determine if a “good” Sargassum year results in “good” recruitment for a suite of managed fisheries species.
This project is led by the University of Southern Mississippi in partnership with the University of South Florida and NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
This project is funded by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) RESTORE Science Program under award NA17NOS4510099 to the University of Southern Mississippi.

Completeness Report
For details, see Distribution Information.
To evaluate the nursery function and importance of Sargassum to fisheries in a way that is useful to fisheries managers, and to better understand the ocean and climate conditions that result in “good” Sargassum years, the researchers will measure variability in the distribution and abundance of Sargassum in the northern Gulf of Mexico. They will also assess the nursery-role function of Sargassum relative to its location and variability in different habitats (open ocean vs. nearer to shore) and the morphology (i.e. thickness) of Sargassum mats. Additionally, they will develop and test the usefulness of including measures of the capacity for Sargassum to serve as juvenile fish nursery habitat (i.e. habitat indices) in population assessments of recreationally and commercially important fish species associated with Sargassum. These habitat indices will be developed using data collected from satellites and ships in the field.
