Dominant bacterial taxa drive microbiome differences in juvenile Pacific oysters

The results of this study provide insight into how the microbiome of Pacific oysters may affect their early development, which can inform hatchery and nursery practices.

Environmental resistance model informs biogeography of aquatic invasions in complex stream networks

This research proposes a method to assess the distribution of environmental resistance of stream ecosystems to biological invasions by coupling multi-stage habitat potential models for non-native species.

Improving Gear Marking in the U.S. West Coast Sablefish Pot Fleet

This workshop report summarizes commercial fishing industry input on feasible and practical improvements to gear marking in the sablefish pot gear off the West Coast to improve NOAA’s ability to identify the source fishery of large whale entanglements.

Analysis of Oregon Shelf Groundfishes Distributions

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.

Assessing commercial fishery bait in Dungeness crab feeding ecology

This study assesses the evidence for seasonal consumption of commercial Dungeness crab fishery bait off the Oregon coast by that target species through stable isotope and gut content analysis.

A Dover sole fish lays flat on the ocean floor and its gray body with brown speckles blends in to form a camouflage.

Comparing fishery-independent and fishery-dependent data of Oregon groundfishes

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.
