Mark Myers (NOAA Fisheries, NWFSC) is mending a trawl net used to collect winter flounder for chemical analyses. Two weeks after an oil spill washed into saltponds along the coast of Rhode Island, NWFSC scientists were conducting studiesto determine if fish health had been affected. Winter flounder were spawning in the salt ponds at the time of the spill. (Image credit: Carla Stehr)
