Science Center for Marine Fisheries (SCeMFiS) IIP-1266057; University of Southern Mississippi; Eric Powell IIP-1266065; College of William and Mary Virginia Institute of Marine Science; Roger Mann The Science Center for Marine Fisheries SCeMFiS) will utilize academic and recreational and commercial finfish and shellfish fisheries resources to address urgent scientific problems limiting successful management of these fisheries during the period of intense climate change. The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and the College of William and Mary Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with USM as the lead institution. The goal of this proposal is to seek funding to establish a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "Science Center for Marine Fisheries (SCeMFiS)." The focus of the proposed center will be to develop essential biological data on fish stocks; improved models of sampling design, population dynamics, and fishery performance; evaluation of geographic and depth variations in stock structure and how these relate to the genetics, physiology and sexual dimorphism of species; and improved approaches to fishing to reduce discards through gear innovation and modifications in fleet deployment. SCeMFiS supports an academic program encompassing both components of the management process. SCeMFiS' capabilities encompass the range of oceanographic, fisheries, and marine biological disciplines essential for addressing the data resource and analytical challenges faced by modern-day fisheries management. The proposed center would have significant impact on both the commercial and recreational fishing industries. The research at the proposed center will result in improved survey sampling methods, improved population dynamics models, new approaches to discard reduction, evaluation of geographic/depth-dependent variations in stock structure, identification of physiological/genetic origins of stock dynamics, and other meritorious outcomes, all aimed at the dual goals of sustainable fish stocks and sustainable fishing industries, thus simultaneously optimizing economic benefit while optimally husbanding the nation's fish resources.

南密西西比大学海洋渔业科学中心;弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所威廉和玛丽学院;海洋渔业科学中心将利用学术和娱乐和商业鳍鱼和贝类渔业资源，以解决紧迫的科学问题，限制这些渔业的成功管理，气候剧烈变化的时期。南密西西比大学（USM）和威廉和玛丽弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS）正在合作建立拟议的中心，USM作为牵头机构。该提案的目的是寻求资金，以建立一个新的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），名为“海洋渔业科学中心（SCeMFiS）”。“拟议中的中心的重点将是开发鱼类种群的基本生物数据;改进抽样设计、种群动态和渔业绩效的模型;评估种群结构的地理和深度变化以及这些变化与物种的遗传学、生理学和两性异形的关系;改进捕鱼方法，通过渔具创新和船队部署的修改减少丢弃物。SCeMFiS支持学术课程，包括管理过程的两个组成部分。SCeMFiS的能力涵盖了海洋学、渔业和海洋生物学科的范围，这些学科对于解决现代渔业管理所面临的数据资源和分析挑战至关重要。拟议中的中心将对商业和休闲渔业产生重大影响。拟议中心的研究将改进调查抽样方法，改进种群动态模型，减少丢弃的新方法，评估种群结构中地理/深度依赖性变化，确定种群动态的生理/遗传起源，以及其他有价值的成果，所有这些都旨在实现可持续鱼类种群和可持续渔业的双重目标，从而在最大限度地节约国家鱼类资源的同时，实现经济效益的最大化。
