Science Consortium for Ocean Replenishment (SCORE), semi-annual progress report for the period 1 July through 31 December 2007.

Abstract

The Science Consortium for Ocean Replenishment (SCORE) is a science-based approach to stocking hatchery-reared marine organisms to help rebuild depleted marine fisheries (marine fisheries enhancement). SCORE scientists are conducting research to resolve critical uncertainties about the effectiveness of culture-based marine enhancement as a fishery management tool. It is anticipated that significant progress will be made by SCORE scientists, leading to greater and greater success from marine enhancement programs in the U.S.
