Massachusetts Young-of-the-Year Bottom Trawl Survey
Anthony Anderson
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).
