Project Abstract
The Newport Research Facility holds valuable collections of biological material (scales and otoliths), collected as part of national stock assessment and monitoring programmes or for the purpose of specific projects. Analysis of this material is providing significant insight into temporal changes in migratory fish populations and underlying broad-scale environmental drivers (Peyronnet et al. 2007; Daverat et al. 2012). However, the available material is not fully catalogued and analysed and associated data and images are not currently held in a single database that can be readily updated, making it difficult to build on recent research advances. To fully realise the potential of this archive, a co-ordinated approach is needed, following international examples of best practice (ICES 2016).
