Our industry-driven collaborative research initiative will address uncertainties about Atlantic mackerel population dynamics, including spawning seasonality. This study will help improve what we know about where and when mackerel spawn in our region.
We conduct research and monitoring surveys to better understand the physical, biological, economic, and social components of marine ecosystems found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from the Canadian Scotian Shelf to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
Water temperature affects many species' spawning times, access to food, and range. Collecting temperature data provides insight into the state of the ecosystem. Here, we shared bottom temperature data from this survey.

Convened by NOAA Fisheries and first held in 1986, the Flatfish Biology Conference provides researchers with an opportunity to present their findings on all aspects of flatfish research.
