SMAST Events 59643 Oct23 Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar - Elizabeth Fairchild The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar Announcement "The existential fish: where did I come from and where am I going? (or spawning movements and natal origins of winter flounder in the southern GOM) Elizabeth A. Fairchild Research Associate Professor Department of Biological Sciences University of New Hampshire Wednesday, October 23, 2019 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm SMAST East Rooms 101/102 836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford Abstract: It has long been thought that Gulf of Maine (GOM) winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) migrate inshore into shallow bays and estuaries to spawn, followed by a return to offshore areas. However, over the past 10+ years, collaborative research-industry studies have resulted in changes to how we understand and think about winter flounder spawning movements. Through the use of acoustic telemetry, conventional tags, and bottom trawl surveys, it has been shown that winter flounder in this coastal stock are not estuarine dependent for spawning, and indeed, some fish spawn in much deeper and offshore waters than had been previously documented. In addition, other techniques like model simulations and analysis of trace elements in fish otoliths, can shed light on population structure and natal (or nursery) origin of pre-recruits. An overview of these studies will be discussed. To access the live broadcasting, go to https://echo360.org/directLogin and click on "Alternate login".
