Technical Memoranda in the NOAA TM NMFS SPO series are generally available from the specific NMFS Headquarters division or office that produced the report. A searchable database of all TMs is available online at the Office of Science and Technology website.

Recent TMs are available below in PDF format as well. To view and print the articles you will need to use the latest version of the portable document format (PDF) viewing software program Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not already have this program on your computer, you can temporarily leave the National Marine Fisheries Service web site and download it.
