| Summary: | This dataset examines seasonal linkages between spring spawning areas, early summer distribution patterns, and late summer/early fall occurrences for three key fish species in the Eastern Bering Sea (EBS): walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), and arrowtooth flounder (ATF; Atheresthes stomias). Studies were based on a series of cruises conducted from 2008-2010 in spring, summer and fall. Biotic and abiotic data were synthesized from these cruises to provide a better understanding of the potential effects of hydrographic variations in rearing conditions and on transport, dispersal, and distribution of early life stages of these key marine fish species in the eastern Bering Sea. Note: This is the latest version of the data, updated on 4 December 2011.
