Description
This fellowship opportunity, offered through the NRC Research Associateship Programs in partnership with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Science Center, supports research in quantitative fisheries ecology. The research focuses on advancing stock assessment methods, fishery management strategies, population dynamics, and understanding environmental influences on marine species. The primary geographic focus is the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts of the United States.
Associates may propose new research projects or join ongoing studies. Past and current research examples include:
- Impacts of hypoxia on the Gulf menhaden fishery in the Gulf of Mexico
- Treatment of natural mortality in stock assessment models
- Environmental effects on menhaden recruitment
- Population models of protogynous fish
The goal is to produce research that directly informs and improves management of marine species.
