Near Real-time Temperatures from the Bering Sea Bottom Trawl Survey 2023

Water temperature affects many species' spawning times, access to food, growth rates, and overall range. Collecting temperature data helps better understand the species’ habitats and the larger ecosystem.

Temperature Anomalies and Cold Pool Estimates from Bering Sea Bottom Trawl Surveys 2023

Every summer, a pool of very cold and salty water, called the cold pool, forms near the seafloor due to the melting of the winter sea ice. The cold pool’s annual extent affects many aspects of the life of fishes, crabs, and other bottom-dwelling species.

Effects of Data Sources and Biological Criteria on Length-at-Maturity Estimates and Spawning Periodicity of the Commercially Important Hawaiian Snapper, Etelis coruscans

Exploring the use of six maturity classification criteria based on a functionally mature or physiologically mature designation characteristics of E. coruscans combined with seasonality and inclusion of additional reproductive phases.

Passive Acoustic Research in the Northeast

We use passive acoustic technologies to study the behavior and movements of marine animals, their contribution to the ocean soundscape, and how they are affected by human-made sounds.
New England/Mid-Atlantic
This illustration shows the variety of technologies that NOAA Fisheries researchers use to record underwater sounds and study marine animals. The seascape shows bottom- mounted and drifting acoustic recorders, underwater autonomous vehicles, Atlantic cod and humpback whale with tags, and instruments deployed from a NOAA ship and small boat. Colored circles show a zoomed-in view of the instruments and indicate the type of data collected: green for real-time data, orange for archival data, and blue for active NOAA Fisheries studies marine animals by using a variety of technologies to record underwater sounds, including archival passive acoustic recordings (orange), real-time acoustic data collection (green), and active acoustics (blue).

Effects of unregulated international fishing on recovery potential of the sandbar shark within the southeastern United States

How Climate Change and Climate Variability Affected Trip Distance of a Commercial Fishery

Results show the higher the SST of the Hawaii longline fleet, the longer trip distance; vs NSO events could result in shorter trip distance, possibly due to changes in catch rates of different tuna species through redistribution during weather events.
