Ultimate Goal
Identify research areas
where GLOBEC results suggest a new conceptual model of
biological processes in the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine region
and develop a plan for testing these hypotheses.
Specific Goals
¥To provide updates on population dynamics modeling, spatial distributions, and on egg
production, growth, and mortality data.
¥To identify important events or problem areas that need attention.
¥To identify what data must be shared between groups to further the understanding of the
target species.
¥To compare patterns of variability in target species with one another and with other
important species.
