Marine Fisheries

Christopher Gledhill works for the National Marine Fisheries Service at the Pascagoula Laboratory. Research has included surveys of fish assemblages and habitat within two marine protected areas on the west Florida shelf. The goals of this study were: to establish a baseline estimate of fish abundance, especially for species of groupers and snappers; to describe significant habitat features in the Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps Marine Protected Areas; and estimate the age structure and reproductive status for groupers and snappers.
