Marine Reserves News: Reports from the Field

A Deeper Dive

A BUSY 7 DAYS OF FIELD WORK

China Rockfish

 
Researchers were busy at Oregon’s marine reserve sites last week, with seven sampling days out in the field. Three days of hook-and-line surveys were successfully completed at the Redfish Rocks site. We conducted two days of video lander work, off of Seal Rock, as part of our continued pilot study to test and compare baited vs. un-baited video landers. And finally, the SMURF juvenile fish surveys were wrapped up for the year, with the last samples collected at both the Otter Rock and Redfish Rocks sites. Should the weather cooperate, we have another full schedule of field work this week so stay tuned.

A big thank you to our boat captains Mark Lottis (Five Star Charters) and Tim Foley (F/V Mach 1), and to all of our volunteer anglers who came out to help with the hook-and-line surveys.
