NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS

The NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS series (TM) is published by NMFS Offices and Science Centers, and is used for timely documentation and communication of preliminary results, interim reports, or more localized or special purpose information that may not have received formal outside peer reviews or detailed editing. NMFS Offices and Science Centers are responsible for reviews and technical accuracy of TMs. The TMs are numbered publications and can be obtained from the issuing Office or Science Center or the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). Many are now available online in PDF format.

The Publication & Reference Links page includes links to many of the listings of TMs issued by the NMFS Science Centers. The NMFS Office of Science and Technology also has a searchable database of TMs here. TMs in the NMFS SPO series processed for headquarters offices are generally available from the specific division that produced the report. Many recent TMs are available on the SPO site: click here.
