Description
Summary:Status: X Complete Incomplete, on schedule Incomplete, behind schedule Planned completion date if incomplete: Reporting: Have the project results been reported? If yes, where were the results reported? Yes. The data have been reported in the following NOAA Technical Memorandum (a followup peer-review publication is planned): Aydin, K.Y., B. Matta and T. Buckley. Trends in bioenergetic foraging potential for walleye pollock in the Bering Sea. AFSC Tech. Memo. (in internal review). Results: What is the most important result of the study? We have created a series of bioenergetic maps on a 20-km resolution for the Bering Sea, showing (quantifying) the projected growth rates at fixed ration of walleye pollock in the summer, and interannual variation in this “growth potential. ” These maps are based on water temperature and the quality of prey (caloric contents) measured on this 20-km scale from 1984-2006. We have automated the method of creating these maps to update them annually in the future based on trawl-survey data. The maps are available in gridded
