The majority of sharks harvested in the United States are species with above-target population levels. And we have rebuilding plans for all overfished species.
We contribute to the understanding of the effects of climate change and climate variability on pelagic fisheries, with a primary focus on the ecology of fishes living in the California Current Ecosystem and other forage species.
Our team performs stock assessments and studies demersal communities and habitat assemblages to ensure sustainable and effective management of marine ecosystems.
We transform fisheries data into fisheries information via summations and statistical analyses to support stock assessments, scientific studies, and national and international data reporting requirements.
We research the reproductive biology, growth, foraging ecology, and distribution of highly migratory and coastal pelagic species in the northeast Pacific Ocean.
This stock assessment reports the status of coastal Pacific Hake (or Pacific whiting, Merluccius productus) off the west coast of the United States and Canada at the start of 2020.
