NWFSC biologists aboard the fishing vessel The Captain Jack during the 2001 West Coast Slope Trawl Survey of Groundfish Resources The mission of the FRAM division is to provide the scientific basis for the management of West Coast Groundfish stocks and their ecosystems. This involves comprehensive analysis of data from fishery monitoring, fishery-independent resource surveys, and biological investigations. The results provide estimates of the current status and future trends in abundance and productivity of marine fishery resources, evaluations of the potential effects of fishery management alternatives on abundance and yield of living marine resources, and better information on fishery bycatch and other multi-species issues.
