Using Stock Vulnerability to Evaluate Fishery‐Independent Survey Coverage and Inform Sampling PrioritiesNARA Subscribed
The consequences of mis‐managing vulnerable stocks (i.e., those with low productivity and high susceptibility to depletion) are high and potentially permanent. To support sustainable fisheries management, stock assessments can be improved by increasing the quantity and quality of fishery‐independent survey (i.e., survey) data. Social and economic value typically determine sampling priorities, but high value stocks are not nece...
Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral speciesNARA Subscribed
An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral ( Acropora palmata ) and staghorn coral ( Acropora cervicornis ), were severely affected. These species have been the primary focus of reef restoration in Florida for decades. Substantial losses of these species occurred in outplanted populations, in o...

The U.S. Ecosystem‐Based Fisheries Management Policy and Road Map: Assessing Progress and Applying Lessons LearnedNARA Subscribed
The need for ecosystem‐based fisheries management (EBFM) is growing more urgent as environmental changes, species shifts, new ocean uses, and other factors force oceans toward novel states. In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) developed an EBFM Policy in 2016, accompanied by a Road Map of 49 action items, to support marine ecosystem‐based...
The Cost of Antivenom: A Cost Minimization Study using the North American Snakebite RegistryNARA Subscribed
Envenomation is a global health issue, with over 9,000 encounters managed in the United States yearly. The introduction of immunoglobulin fragment antivenom has reduced the risk of hypersensitivity. This study compares treatment costs of crotaline envenomation using the Fab and F(ab’) 2 antivenoms as reported to the North American Snakebite Registry (NASBR), a nationwide surveillance tool. Methods This was a retrospective anal...
Enhancing exercise performance and recovery through sodium bicarbonate supplementation: introducing the ingestion recovery frameworkNARA Subscribed
Sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplementation is an ergogenic strategy for athletes competing in high-intensity exercise, but the efficacy of SB for accelerating recovery from exercise and thus improving performance during repeated bouts of exercise is not fully understood. In a similar fashion to using SB as a pre-exercise buffer, it is possible accelerated restoration of blood pH and bicarbonate following an exercise bout mechanis...

Illegal incidents and violations related to Atlantic salmon fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, during 2001–2020NARA Subscribed
Resource user compliance is a key element in effective fisheries management. Herein, we examine two decades of enforcement records pertaining to Atlantic salmon from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Illegal incidents were negatively correlated with the number of licensed anglers but not salmon abundance. Over two decades, illegal incidents declined by 66%, even after correcting for the positive relationship between enforceme...
The southward propagation of cold-air frontal boundaries into the Gulf of Mexico region initiates a cascade of coupled air–sea processes that manifests along the coastlines as an apparent brightness anomaly in the ocean color signals. Our hypothesis is that the color anomaly is largely due to the turbulent resuspension of sedimentary particles. Initially, there is significant wind-driven ocean turbulence as the frontal boundar...
Apalachicola Bay, a river-fed estuary in the northeast Gulf of Mexico is experiencing impacts from anthropogenic and climate-induced changes in freshwater inputs and sea level rise. These synergistic pressures have resulted in a historic oyster fishery collapse and the expansion of mangroves, which are displacing native salt marsh. Understanding how these natural and man-made-driven changes have affected the nekton community i...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2022 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Apalachicola Bay, an estuary located in northwest Florida, is likely to experience a continuing increase in the severity of the effects of changing climate and human-induced stressors, such as sea level rise and changes in freshwater inflow. A coupled hydrodynamic and food web modeling approach was used to simulate future scenarios of freshwater input and sea level rise in Apalachicola Bay from 2020 to 2049 to demonstrate the...
Automated Atmospheric Correction of Nanosatellites Using Coincident Ocean Color Radiometer DataOA Marine
Here we present a machine-learning-based method for utilizing traditional ocean-viewing satellites to perform automated atmospheric correction of nanosatellite data. These sensor convolution techniques are required because nanosatellites do not usually possess the wavelength combinations required to atmospherically correct upwelling radiance data for oceanographic applications; however, nanosatellites do provide superior groun...
Vulnerability to climate change of managed stocks in the California Current large marine ecosystemOA Marine
Introduction Understanding how abundance, productivity and distribution of individual species may respond to climate change is a critical first step towards anticipating alterations in marine ecosystem structure and function, as well as developing strategies to adapt to the full range of potential changes. Methods This study applies the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Fisheries Climate Vulnerability Asse...
