The Ocean Technology Development Tank, located in the La Jolla Laboratory of the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, is a 2-million-liter seawater tank that allows scientists to test new survey technologies in a controlled environment.
We study the population health of Antarctic seabirds in relation to the availability of Antarctic krill, their main food source. Our data are used to inform ecosystem-based management in the Southern Ocean.
We use advanced technologies to study the distribution and abundance of Antarctic krill in relation to environmental conditions. Our data are used to help manage krill populations in the Southern Ocean.
NOAA Fisheries is using ocean-going robots (saildrones) equipped with acoustic sensors to count fish. Scientists hope to use this information to understand how the pollock stock is doing in a year when there isn’t a standard research survey.
We study the population health of Antarctic fur seals in relation to the availability of Antarctic krill, their main food source. Our data are used to inform ecosystem-based management in the Southern Ocean.
