Understanding the past and predicting the future in a California estuary: The role of sediment dynamics on eelgrass resilience in Morro Bay
Seagrasses are a critical habitat for numerous marine species, and provide other ecosystem benefits such as improving water clarity, absorbing nutrients, reducing fecal pathogens, stabilizing shore -
Larval connectivity among marine protected areas using robot larvae to simulate depth regulation behaviors of many species
A network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) was recently established along the California coast to conserve marine ecosystems and help restore species that are under pressure from human impacts. -
Estimating regional krill biomass and availability: significance to California salmonids during a period of extreme environmental variability
Krill support more than 70 species of commercially and recreationally important fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. In particular, krill are critical food for salmon at certain life stages. -
Initial Steps Towards Evaluating Potential Disease Impacts of Propagated Marine Fish on Wild Stocks: A New Herpesvirus from White Seabass
Fear of spreading disease is a major obstacle in developing marine aquaculture, particularly in California. -
Enhancement of Growth Rates and Swimming Performance in Juvenile Marine Finfish in Aquaculture
Many of the benefits of exercise on human health appearto translate to fish. -
Integrated Culture of Seaweeds and Red Abalone in Monterey Harbor
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop an operational seaweed-culturing plan for the Monterey Abalone Company, a medium-sized abalone farm in Monterey Harbor, which currently feeds their a -
Understanding the Pathogenesis of Streptococcus iniae Infection in Fish and Development of an Effective Vaccine for Use in Aquaculture
Streptococcus iniae (SI) causes a fatal meningoencephalitis in commercially important fish species, including striped bass, tilapia and salmon. -
Solving impediments to the co-culture of seaweeds and shellfish
Aquaculture is one solution to the increasing global demand for marine products and the problem of overfishing. -
Impediments and opportunities for coordinating use of California’s coastal ocean: Adding aquaculture to the mix
Encouraged by recent federal policies established to increase aquaculture production, California has sought to expand coastal mariculture by various means, including the establishment of the collab -
Climate Change and Restoration Factors Affecting Fecal Pathogen Dynamics in Wetland Systems
As part of a broad effort to understand how climate change may affect pathogen pollution along the coast, researchers are exploring the fate and transport of fecal pathogens through different types
