Distribution of bottom-water dissolved oxygen July 28-August 3, 2015 west of the Mississippi River delta. The black line indicates dissolved oxygen levels of less than two miligrams per liter. Credit: ...
NCCOS Hypoxia Forecasts Prove Accurate
For over ten years NCCOS has developed and improved hypoxia (dead zone) forecasts similar to seasonal weather forecasts. The accuracy of these forecasts is proving to be quite good. Professor ...
NOAA, Partners Predict an Average 'Dead Zone' for ...
Outlook incorporates multiple hypoxia models for first time Scientists are expecting that this year's Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone, also called the 'dead zone,' will be approximately 5,483 square miles ...

A remote biopsy sample is collected from a bottlenose dolphin. Credit: NOAA NCCOS scientists reported that persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were likely not a contributing factor to the poor health ...
Gulf of Mexico Offshore Dead Zone Linked to Missis...
Twenty-five years of NCCOS sponsored research shows that the offshore summer hypoxic (low-oxygen) 'dead zone' in the Gulf of Mexico is strongly linked to nutrient loading from the Mississippi River ...
Reducing the Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone Using Operat...
A recently released white paper assesses the status of several empirical and deterministic models capable of characterizing Gulf hypoxia, also known as the Gulf dead zone. ' Modeling Approaches for ...
Workshop Explores Fisheries Management in Face of ...
Last month's Fifth Annual Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Research Coordination Workshop continued its tradition of advancing the science that informs fisheries and resource managers about the effects of Gulf hypoxia ...
Red Tide Toxin Metabolite Accumulates in Organs, M...
Credit: J. Ramsdell, NOAA In 2012, the state of Texas experienced the longest red tide on record, leading to a collapse of its oyster industry. Red tides in the Gulf of ...

The New Fisheries Economics: Incentives Across Many Margins
New research in fisheries economics addresses incentives across many margins. These margins include within-season effects, incentives to harvest different ages and sizes of fish, responses to ecological disturbances, spatial choices, and multispecies interactions. Even developments in global seafood markets are ...
U.S. Shrimp Market Integration
Recent supply shocks in the Gulf of Mexico—including hurricanes, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the seasonal appearance of a large dead zone of low oxygen water (hypoxia)—have raised concerns about the economic viability of the U.S. shrimp fishery. The ...
Upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α mRNA levels in dragonet Callionymus valenciennei exposed to environmental hypoxia in Tokyo Bay
There is an urgent need to develop reliable biomarkers of environmental hypoxia exposure in marine organisms in order to assess the ecological impacts of the marked increase in coastal hypoxia worldwide. Full-length hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α and HIF-2α cDNAs were cloned ...
