"Oceanic Mixing and Mixed Layer Depths"

Abstract
The ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is one of the largest global
regulators of climate. There are two definitions associated with its
depth: the mixed layer depth (MLD) and the mixing layer depth (XLD).
The former is estimated using vertical profiles of temperature and
density, and the latter using measurements of the dissipation rate of
turbulent kinetic energy. The relationship between the XLD and MLD has
not been extensively studied in the past, since this requires
specialized instruments which allow simultaneous measurements of ocean
state variables and turbulence across the full depth of the OSBL.
The overarching objective of this presentation is to show the variability of the XLD and MLD under different conditions. To achieve this,
different estimates of the MLD and XLD are applied to vertical
profiles derived from an autonomous vertical profiler (ASIP) deployed
in two different cruises in the North Atlantic. It was found that the
MLD criteria differ between themselves when the stratification is
weaker and the transition between the mixed layer and the pycnocline
is not well defined. On the contrary, the XLD criteria had a better
agreement between themselves, and a new method was proposed to improve
its estimation.
The action of the wind, waves, and buoyancy fluxes impact the
variability of the OSBL. To study the effect of each source of
turbulence in the OSBL, different parameters related to each forcing
were estimated and compared with the MLD and XLD. Given the close link
found between the XLD and each source of turbulence, a scaling for the
XLD was tested by dividing the ocean into different mixing regimes
according to the ratio between the Monin-Obukhov length, the MLD, and
the surface net heat flux. Under periods of convection, the XLD
shows a significant correlation with the MLD.
The results found using ASIP data were extrapolated to build a
climatology of the upper mixing using reanalysis data from ERA5 and
ARGO profiles during a period of 10 years (2009-2018). Significant
differences between the MLD and the XLD climatology were found during
this process.

"The Decline and Impending Collapse of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Population in the North Atlantic Ocean: A Review of Possible Causes."

ABSTRACT
Adult returns to many Atlantic salmon wild and hatchery stocks of the North Atlantic have declined or collapsed since 1985. Enhancement, commercial fishery closures, and angling restrictions have failed to halt the decline. Human impacts such as dams, pollution or marine overexploitation were responsible for some stock declines in the past, but adult returns to
river and hatchery stocks with no obvious local impacts have also declined or collapsed since 1985. Multiple studies have postulated that the recent widespread occurrence of low adult returns may be caused by climate change, salmon farming, food availability at sea, or marine predators but these possibilities are unsupported by stocks that persist near historic
levels, loss of stocks remote from farm sites, a diverse marine prey field, and scarcity of large offshore predators. The decline and collapse of stocks has common characteristics: 1) cyclic annual adult returns cease, 2) annual adult returns flatline, 3) adult mean size declines, and 4) stock collapses occurred earliest among watersheds distant from the North Atlantic
Sub-polar Gyre (NASpG). Cyclic annual adult returns were common to all stocks in the past tthat were not impacted by anthropogenic changes to their natal streams. A flatline of adult abundance and reduction in adult mean size are common characteristics of many overexploited fish stocks and suggest illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fisheries exploitation
at sea. Distance from the NASpG causing higher mortality of migrating post-smolts would increase the potential for collapse of these stocks from IUU exploitation. By-catch of post-smolts and adults in paired-trawl fisheries off Europe and intercept adult fisheries off Greenland, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and off Europe have been sources of marine mortality but seem unlikely to be the primary cause of the decline. Distribution in time and space of former, legal high-sea fisheries indicated fishers were well
acquainted with the ocean migratory pattern of salmon and combined with lack of surveillance since 1985 outside Exclusive Economic Zones or in remote northern regions may mean high at-sea mortality occurs because of IUU fisheries. The problem of IUU ocean fisheries is acute, has collapsed numerous stocks of desired species worldwide, and is probably linked to
the decline and impending collapse of the North Atlantic salmon population.

Kickoff Dialogue, part 2: Groupwork, Teamwork, and other Active Learning Strategies amid the Pandemic
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: Claire T. Carney Library Room 213
The return to campus this semester introduces something of a paradox. On the one hand, we look forward to engaging our students in the classroom in ways we've missed over the past three semesters: through discussion, small group activities, project-based assignments, and other active learning pedagogies. On the other hand, we are teaching and learning still in pandemic times, and some conventional practices (i.e. forming small discussion circles, asking students to move around the classroom, circulating the room and joining group discussions) may be met with caution or even fear by students and instructors alike. How, then, shall we approach active learning amid a pandemic?
Join Jay Zysk, Ricardo Rosa, and Monika Schuler for an open dialogue on various strategies and practices for collaborative, active learning as we return to campus. What technologies might we use to foster interaction while maintaining physical space? How can we communicate effectively while masking indoors? How can we creatively work with our classroom spaces to create learning environments that are active, engaging, and dynamic? How can we rethink group work and other team-based pedagogies, perhaps with the aid of some instructional technologies we've implemented over the past several semesters?
To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone. Please make your preference known when registering. Lunch is provided for in-person participants.

"Effects of feed attractants and feeding frequency on the performance of tautog (Tautoga onitis) in recirculating aquaculture systems"

Abstract
Tautog (Tautoga onitis) are a valuable commercial and recreational finfish species along the western Atlantic coastline, but high demand has led to depleted populations. To counter this decline, tautog have been identified as a candidate for finfish aquaculture. Worldwide, aquaculture is the main source of fish for human consumption and is propelled by advancements in technology and production. Two important aspects of finfish farms include the type of feed, and the techniques associated with feed delivery. Growth performance was tested by comparing diets supplemented with feed attractants in the form of hydrolysates created from Atlantic longfin squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) and green crab (Carcinus maenas). Additionally, tautog feeding behavior was incorporated into culture methods by focusing on how and when feed was distributed to individual fish. Fish were fed the same weight(g) of commercial pellets at different intervals throughout the day and night. The aims of this thesis were to 1) document the role of protein hydrolysates as feed attractants and resulting growth rates of tautog in recirculating
aquaculture systems, 2) determine if feeding frequency influences tautog feeding behavior. Feed attractants do not stimulate growth of tautog when compared to control diets. Average consumption was influenced by feeding frequency, with the most frequent feeding regime resulting in the lowest average consumption however, individual fish did not exhibit this pattern. This work offers strategies to develop comprehensive feeding regimes for regional farmers and researchers interested in tautog aquaculture.
