Her dissertation centers around stock identification methods, population structure, and spatial distributions using various data science techniques, including machine learning and pop-off satellite tags. In addition to her Doctoral work, Kay has assisted in conducting stock assessment work with ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. Kay\u2019s favorite part of the lab is having the opportunity to get dirty collecting samples with on-the-ground knowledge of how things are done while also having the ability to collaborate with other stock assessment-focused scientists to process the data and fulfill supranational fisheries management needs.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading281_787a7d-06\"]{font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading281_787a7d-06\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading281_787a7d-06\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading281_787a7d-06 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading281_787a7d-06\">Originally from New York, Kay likes to say she has chased fish across the country, living in Texas, West Virginia, and now Maine. She completed her undergraduate degree in environmental science with a watershed concentration at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science &amp; Forestry (SUNY ESF) in 2014, where she was first introduced to otoliths and otolith chemistry. Kay continued her education at West Virginia University, completing her master\u2019s thesis on the \u201cIntegration of fisheries ecology with the assessment of microplastic consumption in black bass in the upper Ohio River drainage.\u201d Kay was the first to study microplastic consumption in black bass species in West Virginia\u2019s large navigable rivers, the Kanawha and

Joe is specializing in the application and analysis of satellite telemetry for Atlantic tunas, specifically yellowfin and bluefin, with a scope on its implications for international management and involvement of the fishing community in research. Powerful tracking technologies for marine animals are being used by research groups globally, and their outputs can be persuasive to management and conservation. Joe is interested in how research groups analyze telemetry data with proprietary and\/or open source geolocation models and how these findings are then reported to management agencies. Joe\u2019s research prioritizes movement and behavioral ecology, conservation biology, impacts of catch and release, and the partnerships that drive sustainable commercial and recreational fisheries. Joe has joined prominent Atlantic bluefin tuna captains in their pursuit of giants and presented his research at internationally attended conferences; opportunities made possible by his doctoral studies at the 91±¬ΑΟ. While working in the lab, Joe has developed a real appreciation for the goal-oriented mindset of his peers and the lab culture of working through complex and sometimes novel challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_fa7f85-2b,

Blaise\u2019s thesis research is focused on the foraging ecology of Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Maine, which is a collaborative long term monitoring program between the Maine Department of Marine Resources and the Pelagic Fisheries Lab.  The goal of this research is to determine if recently documented shifts in Atlantic bluefin tuna diet have persisted especially when considering the recent decreasing abundance of Atlantic herring and increasing abundance of Atlantic menhaden in the Gulf of Maine. Preliminary results from stomach content analysis have shown a shift in the diet of bluefin tuna that is reflective of the change in the predominant forage fish species in the Gulf of Maine. Blaise\u2019s favorite aspect of working in the Pelagic Fisheries Lab is being able to share the knowledge that is being gained on highly migratory species, particularly Atlantic bluefin tuna, not only with the scientific community but also the commercial fishing industry, without whom this research would not be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading281_e54f8b-a3,
