Administrative Reports and Technical Memorandums

1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,  2004, 2005

In addition to its formal publications, NOAA Fisheries uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum series to issue informal scientific and technical publications. Documents within the Technical Memorandum series reflect sound professional work and may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. NOAA Fisheries also uses the Administrative Report series to ensure prompt dissemination of preliminary results, interim reports, and special studies to the scientific community. The material is not ready for formal publication since the paper may later be published in a modified form to include more recent information or research results. Abstracting, citing, or reproduction of this information is not allowed. Contact the author if additional information is required.
