NOAA Professional Papers NMFS &
NOAA Technical Reports NMFS

The NOAA Professional Paper NMFS series, begun in 2003, replaces the NOAA Technical Report NMFS series. Both series are available in PDF format below, including all Professional Papers published to date, and Technical Reports 1 through 154 (the final one in the TR series).

To view and print the reports you will need to use the portable document format (PDF) viewing software, Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you have not already installed a viewer you can temporarily leave the National Marine Fisheries Service web site and download Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please note that reference to trade names or commercial firms does not imply endorsement by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Also please be aware that files may be large and graphic-intensive and thus may be slow to display.
