As a prelude to tagging studies on pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) or other laboratory studies, basic information was needed to establish criteria necessary to hold shrimp in aquariums with minimum mortality. A one-year study was conducted at the Fish Commission Laboratory in Newport to obtain data on these requirements. The...
Ocean observing groups are currently making efforts to work with well-defined end-user groups, like boaters and fishermen, to provide meaningful and effective real-time data (RTD) products and visualizations. However, providing meaningful data products for undefined groups such as the general public is not straightforward. In Oregon, several industry, science, and...
