The goal of the research project is to evaluate the impacts of climate and temperature variability on marine fish abundances, and then evaluate the repercussions for sustainable fisheries management. While climate is increasingly being invoked in fisheries modelling, robust evaluations of the impact of variable temperatures have yet to be done. The output from this research project will be used to assist NOAA scientists in fisheries management. Intern responsibilities will be assisting in gathering key life-history parameters for harvested fish species in the Northeast Shelf Regional Ecosystem from literature and FishBase, an online database. The intern will also have the opportunity to learn the relationships between key traits and population growth rates of marine species, be introduced to dynamical multi-species modelling, and gain insight into collaborative efforts between NOAA scientists and academics. Interested students should send as a single PDF: their resume, current transc
