Introduction

The following bibliography consists of three sections: (1) anonymously peer-reviewed publications (“publications”), (2) transparently peer-reviewed and nonpeer-reviewed publications (“reports”), and (3) abstracts for oral presentations and poster displays. The bibliography covers works with a 2015 publication or presentation date, prepared by Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) employees. (Publications appearing “online first” in 2015 but with a 2016 print publication are not included in this list.) Bibliographies of publications, reports, and abstracts for earlier years are available online at: http://nefsc.noaa.gov/publications/lists/.

Availability varies for each work. Web links to online publications and Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) are provided when possible.

Editorial treatment of bibliographic entries is based on the Council of Science Editors style manual, seventh edition. [1]
