This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Management Projects program (CFDA 11.454) provides $1,097,906 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to conduct a drop camera survey of sea scallops in the Nantucket Lightship and Northern Edge Habitat Area of Particular Concern. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) assess the spatial and temporal distribution of sea scallops, 2) estimate the absolute density and biomass of...
This $497,723 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program (CFDA 11.427) aims to develop a viable business model for culturing Atlantic sea scallops offshore in the Gulf of Maine. The key objectives are to determine optimal locations, densities, and gear types for bottom scallop culture; develop an economic model to assess profitability; quantify and...
This two-year, $599,984 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration project grant supports research at the University of Maine to develop probiotic systems for sea scallop hatcheries. The goal is to enhance reliability and reproducibility of larval production throughout the year. Researchers will identify appropriate probiotic bacteria for inclusion in feed or direct addition to hatchery tanks and assess effects on larval survival and probiotic persistence. A $199,984 subaward to the...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417), supports research to evaluate the impacts of changing ocean conditions driven by climate change and ocean acidification on the Atlantic sea scallop fishery. The $124,931 award to the University of Connecticut will integrate existing data and modeling tools, including annual stock assessment surveys, physiological lab data, oceanographic...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $796,133 Fisheries Disaster Relief (CFDA 11.477) Project Grant to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to support a collaborative research project aimed at optimizing restorative breeding and developing genetically superior scallop stocks to facilitate the recovery of bay scallop populations in the Peconic Estuary. The project, which will be conducted by Stony Brook University and Cornell...
This $449,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research on the impacts of climate warming on the Atlantic bay scallop, a commercially and culturally important coastal species. The key research activities include: Analyzing 75 years of fisheries data and temperature records to assess how warming temperatures have contributed to the 90% decline of bay scallops across the U.S. Atlantic coast over recent decades....
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) provides $559,754 to the University of Maine System to conduct research on the growth and molt probability of American lobsters. The overarching goal is to inform the stock assessment process conducted by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) by developing a novel approach to assess molt probability based on hormonal indicators....
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $738,406 Cooperative Agreement under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) to the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium (MESC), doing business as the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, for a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to develop a machine learning tool that can predict optimal locations for off-bottom oyster farming along the Alabama coast. To achieve...
This two-year, $599,998 project grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program (CFDA 11.427) will examine the reproductive output of softshell clams in three regions of the Maine coast. The Downeast Institute For Applied Marine Research and Education, Inc. will measure spatial and temporal variability in reproductive output for softshell clams of varying sizes placed...
The federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Exploration (CFDA 11.011) program, aims to develop analytical technology and methodology to advance the understanding of meiofaunal communities in the deep sea. The $1,396,839 project, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will create a transformative method for processing deep-sea sediment samples using automated microscopy and computer-based image...
