New S-K project on striped bas spatial stock assessment

A new S-K project funded to work on striped bas spatial stock assessment. I’m recruiting a new Ph.D. student to work on this project.

Our NSF-NRI proposal is funded!

Collaborative Research: NRI: Ocean-Powered Robots for Autonomous Offshore Aquaculture.  Looking forward to working with Lei and Yaling! and I’m recruiting a graduate student for this project.
