Abstract
Since spring 2005, NOAA ultrasonic receivers have been deployed on Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System buoys. Receivers on 11 GoMOOS buoys recorded 9,968 detections of 61 transmitters from research projects belonging to 9 different organizations from Nova Scotia to North Carolina. Due to Ocean Observing Systems budget cuts, 3 buoys have been decommissioned. NOAA has receivers on the 8 remaining buoys. Species detected by the GoMOOS array include Atlantic salmon smolts and adults, Atlantic sturgeon, alewives, striped bass, winter flounder, and spiny dogfish. Some of the spiny dogfish detections were the first observations since the animals were tagged and released along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
