New paper in Mar. Poll. Bull. from our lab (w/ @terincox.bsky.social, A. Kirkland, B. Price, Univ of New Orleans) predicting vessel noise impacts on Silver Perch (Bairdiella chyrsoura) and seatrout (Cynoscion spp.) spawning choruses in the Gulf of Mexico.

New paper out with Kelly Boyle, Mark Albins, Sean Powers, and Just Cebrian. Carbon production at artificial reefs in northern Gulf of Mexico! aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

@aslo.org @kellysboyle.bsky.social
Carbon production at shallow‐water artificial reef ecosystems relies on water column primary productivity
The attraction-production continuum in fishery management centers on the extent to which artificial reefs increase fish production or whether they simply redistribute fish. Reef systems could produce...
