Jellyfish and Juvenile Salmon Associations with Oceanographic Characteristics during Warm and Cool Years in the Eastern Bering Sea
Abstract: We explored possible associations between jellyfish biomass (Aequorea spp., Aurelia labiata, Chrysaora melanaster, and Cyanea capillata), juvenile salmon (Oncorhynchus keta, O. nerka, O. gorbuscha, O. kisutch, and O. tshawytscha) abundance, and oceanographic characteristics (temperature, s...
