Biologists at NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center have cracked the code for how to spawn Pacific sardines in the laboratory, opening a new window on the life cycle of the commercially important species.
California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations Survey Logs
The 2017 Spring California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations survey is scheduled for March 28 through April 29, 2017, aboard the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada.
The 2017 Coastal Pelagic Species Survey for Daily Egg Production Method will run between San Diego, CA, and Cape Mendocino, CA, from March 21 through April 22, 2017.
Scientists have long used satellite tags to track blue whales along the West Coast, learning how the largest animals on the planet find enough small krill to feed on to support their enormous size.
An international team of scientists who searched out specimens from museums and remote Arctic islands has identified genetic evidence of a rare new species of beaked whale ranging from northern Japan across the Pacific Ocean to Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.
The new research found that the known climate patterns linked the tropical and temperate latitudes of the North Pacific Ocean, helping to fuel an extreme marine heatwave.
