- Description
- This publication serves as notice of intent to procure services for the Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Southwest Region National Marine Fisheries Service located in Long Beach, CA on a sole source basis Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research (PIER). The government intends to acquire services using FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Proposed contract will capture and tag swordfish utilizing experimental deep-set buoy gear in the nearshore waters above Point Conception in the fall of 2012. The proposed work stems directly from PIER's on-going NOAA Saltonstall Kennedy contract which tested the hypothesis that swordfish can be caught at significant depth limited bycatch using simple hook and line methods. This is a continuation of research conducted by PIER in coordination with staff from NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) and staff from Southwest Regional Office (SWRO). PIER has designed and field tested the prototype gear being tested and the recent tagging studies conducted by PIER research team provided valuable information on swordfish movement patterns and temperature preferences. These data will be used to design the daytime buoy fishery in Southern California while simultaneously decreasing gear and bait interactions with non-target species.
