Title: 2002 Fisheries Stock Assessment

The 2002 Fisheries Stock Assessment Research Team will document the installation of the TeraScan hardware and software in Dixon Hall on the campus of Elizabeth City State University. The Team will also present models and proposed solutions fish stock learned at the Fisheries Stock Assessment at Jackson State University.
TeraScan is an integrated system of hardware and software, which is designed to automatically capture data from meteorological and environmental satellites and process the data into image and overlay products. Data and products can then be viewed on the TeraScan system. They can also be distributed to a number of local or off-site destinations across the network.
The TeraScan will capture and process as AVHRR data from the NOAA satellites, Imager and Sounder data from the GOES geostationary satellites, SeaWiFS data from the OrbView-2 satellite, Imager data from the FY1-C satellite and Landsat MSS, Landsat TM, MOS MESSR, MOS VTIR, and SAR.
The Team will also present information and findings discovered from the Program Development and Enhancement in Fisheries Stock Assessment at Jackson State University. This includes multi-formula modeling utilizing the Ricker, Schaefer, and Von Bertalanffy formulae, age determination and yield-per-recruit and spawning biomass per recruit, and full age structure models. The Team will also discuss stock assessment such as tagging and marking of stock.
