2024 Alaska Fisheries Science Center Groundfish Seminar Series
2024 Groundfish Seminars held virtually using Webex - Recordings Available.
The Groundfish Seminar Series (2016 – present) at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center starts in early October and ends in mid-December. We host 9 or 10 weekly talks on Tuesdays at 10AM Pacific Time, with speakers from both inside and outside of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The purpose is to provide a friendly venue for connecting researchers in the widely dispersed groundfish community so that we can learn about advancements in other geographic locations, or on other species, that might be applicable to you and your work. We encourage speakers to talk in general terms about works-in-progress or newly published findings that might be of interest to a broad community.
The seminar series is hosted by the Groundfish Assessment Program at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center and, as a well-attended seminar series at the AFSC, we attract an audience from other parts of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, the other five NOAA Fisheries science centers, NOAA Fisheries; regional offices, NOAA Fisheries headquarters, other parts of NOAA, non-NOAA parts of the federal government, state agencies, universities, the fishing industry, non-governmental organizations, and independent research groups.
