NEWS: NOAA Announces Fish Larvae Ecosystem Field Research off Cuba Article Courtesy: omao.noaa.gov | Originally Published: May 17, 2016

ROFFS™ is helping NOAA research vessel find fish larvae off Cuba as part of our joint NASA – NOAA research project using satellite derived oceanographic analyses to assist in developing habitat models, in part by assisting NOAA’s field activities in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and Bahamas.

While the team has been working on this effort for years, the following is the project summary modified from our original proposal to NASA. This is a joint NASA – NOAA effort and more people are involved that are indicated here. This “applications” research project focuses on enhancing the management of multiple important highly migratory pelagic fish species in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding waters, with particular focus on Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and other highly migratory tunas and billfishes. Our team has developed an innovative spawning habitat model for Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Mexico in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA NMFS). The proposed study will leverage our present collaborations to project this habitat model into the future using IPCC climate models and scenarios to assess possible effects of climate change on the spawning habitat and fish population dynamics.

Above: Image is an example of one satellite derived oceanographic analysis that ROFFS™ derives on a daily basis for the research cruise. The analyses are derived by ROFFS™ and sent to John Lamkin on the NOAA vessel to assist in decision making.
