Our stock assessments provide information on the dynamics of fish populations and scientific information to fishery managers regarding stock status, historical and future biomass, and recruitment trends.
The Trinational Sardine and Small Pelagics Forum comprises sectors of government, academia, and industry from Mexico, Canada, and the United States to collaborate in improving coast-wide stock assessments.
We contribute to the understanding of the effects of climate change and climate variability on pelagic fisheries, with a primary focus on the ecology of fishes living in the California Current Ecosystem and other forage species.
We conduct research across multiple focal areas and species through genetic and physiological tools to provide improved data products for managers and industry.
