Ontogeny matters: Climate variability and effects on fish distribution in the eastern Bering Sea
Abstract Analyses of climate effects often ignore differences in life history for individual species. We analyzed a 34‐year time series of eastern Bering Sea fish surveys to evaluate changes in distribution by length and between cold and warm shelf‐wide average water temperatures for 20 species over...

Abstract Analyses of climate effects often ignore differences in life history for individual species.

All species showed evidence of ontogenetic migration. Differences in distribution between years with warm and years with cold shelf‐wide water temperatures varied among species and within species at different lengths.
