Young-of-the-Year Bottom Trawl Survey
Mentor: Dr. David Stevenson
Abstract
Designating essential fish habits are important because they
protect specific species of fish from becoming extinct. To
help aid the process we took a look at young of the year
species in the north east region of the United States.
We are interested in knowing anything
that will affect the numbers of young-of-the-year (YOY)
juveniles caught in each survey and the environmental
variables that
could be correlated with geospatial data on catch rates
(number of fish per tow).
