- Description
- SOLICITATION FOR LEAD BIOLOGIST The U.S. Department of Commerce (USDOC), National Oceanic Atmospheric and Administration (NOAA), and the National Marine Fisheries in Miami, intends establish a purchase order to develop quantitative metrics of grazing intensity based on species- and size-specific grazing rates and grazing preferences for up to 10 species of reef-associated parrotfishes in the Caribbean. These grazing metrics shall then be used to characterize spatial and temporal patterns of grazing intensity using existing data sets. Work shall be conducted in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands where the largest parrotfish fishery in the US Caribbean is located. This project will characterize species-specific coral predation rates in order to begin to quantify the direct negative impacts of parrotfishes on corals via coral predation. This contract shall support the participation of a research biologist to lead field work and data analysis to develop and apply species- and size-specific metrics of grazing intensity of parrotfishes in St. Croix, USVI. The contractor shall collaborate with a researcher who shall be funded through a related contract. Collaboration shall be done by meeting in person and via electronic media (email, video and teleconferencing). This is a small business set-aside. The NAICS code for this action is 541990.
