The survival of juvenile salmon in Puget Sound has declined by up to 90 percent. NOAA scientist Megan Moore tags steelhead to learn more about their survival and help recover this threatened species.
West Coast trawl fishermen caught almost 14 million pounds of fish in 2018. A trial effort gave them new flexibility in how they fished, while still protecting salmon and other species.
A breakthrough in captive breeding of black abalone at NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center promises to improve methods for spawning the endangered mollusk in the laboratory and, ultimately, to support the recovery of wild populations.
An international team of biologists set out into some of the roughest waters in the North Pacific Ocean in the middle of winter to try to solve a fundamental mystery of Pacific salmon
NOAA Fisheries has determined that Idaho’s Fishery Management and Evaluation Plan for their recreational steelhead fishery provides necessary protections for salmon and steelhead listed under the ESA.
The ocean off the West Coast is shifting from several years of unusually warm conditions, toward a cooler and more productive regime that may boost salmon returns and populations of other ocean predators, according to a new NOAA Fisheries report.
Genetic samples the team collected will help determine whether this animal, with its distinctly different color pattern and body shape, is indeed new to science. See amazing video footage of the whales below.
A newly identified grouper species in the South China Sea has been named in honor of Southwest Fisheries Science Center research geneticist Matthew Craig.
An international team of biologists is setting out into some of the roughest waters in the North Pacific Ocean in the middle of winter to try to solve the fundamental mystery of Pacific salmon: What determines whether they live or die?
