(ROFFS™) is a scientific consulting company based in West Melbourne, Florida (U.S.A.) that is involved with fisheries oceanography, environmental science, and satellite remote sensing.  Founded in 1986 by Mitchell A. Roffer (Ph.D.) in Miami, Florida, we are best known for our tactical and strategic fisheries forecasts that are the result of the integration of satellite and other fisheries oceanographic data. However, we are intensively involved a broad range of projects from ship routing, oil and gas drilling operations, seismic and fish surveys, fisheries development, aquaculture, environmental monitoring, and applied scientific research. Oceanographic Fishing Analyses All of our operational fish forecasting products are designed to allow fishing vessels to concentrate their fishing effort in the most productive waters to increase operational efficiency. The analyses incorporate numerous factors including water temperature, water color,  orientation of local currents, history of ocean fronts, bottom topography, biological quality of the water (chlorophyll, plankton, clarity, colored dissolved organic matter, etc.), forage preference of the target species, availability of forage, as well as, bio-geochemical habitat preferences of the forage and target species. Our analyses have been used successfully by commercial, professional tournament, recreational fishermen and researchers for a variety of fish species including tuna, marlin, sailfish, swordfish, mahi, wahoo, shark, mackerel, sardine, anchovy, pilchard, herring, bluefish, squid, as well as, cod and  hake.
