Relationship of age-0 pollock abundance the Pribilof Islands, to other shelf regions of the eastern Bering Sea
The Pribilof Islands region is recognized to be a major nursery for age-0 walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the eastern Bering Sea. However, the Pribilof Islands ’ importance for the recruitment of pollock in the Bering Sea has not been quantified. In this paper, we define the geographic ex...

Summary: | The Pribilof Islands region is recognized to be a major nursery for age-0 walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the eastern Bering Sea. However, the Pribilof Islands ’ importance for the recruitment of pollock in the Bering Sea has not been quantified. In this paper, we define the geographic extent of the Pribilof Islands region based on ocean circulation, location of major fronts, and trophic interactions. The abundance and distribution by oceanographic habitat (nearshore, frontal and offshore), of acoustica Sea, for the age-0 polloc We found or non-signi we estimate age-0 polloc area, evidenc |
