The laboratory of Dr. John Lamkin at the NOAA/NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Miami is prepared to assist in the analysis of DWH plankton samples which are critical not only to ongoing DWH oil spill impact assessments but also to advance understanding of plankton dynamics in the Gulf. Physical laboratory space is available in the Lab to accommodate up to five ichthyoplankton sorter/identifiers. Dr. Lamkins lab is routinely engaged in the SEAMAP Spring Plankton Surveys and has decades of experience in the collection and identification of the larvae of Gulf of Mexico fishes. Dr. Lamkins laboratory will bring on and train five new contract biologists to sort and assist with identification of fish larvae taken in Gulf samples within the specified DWH area of interest. Analysis of samples collected in 2010 within the DWHOS NRDA area of interest (i.e. approximately east of the Texas/LA border and 26 degrees and north) will be conducted at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
