Description
Summary:No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This study investigates relationships between climate variations and dynamics of walleye pollock biomass in the Bering Sea. А 100-year time-series of the major climate indices were examined: air temperature in the Arctic (Arctic dT), Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), Aleutian Low Pressure Index (ALPI), and 150-year temperature time-series of temperature changes in Gulf of Alaska (GOA SST). In addition, a 100-year series of variations in the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) index was examined. All climatic indices and TSI show common cyclic dynamics of 60–65 year periods with peaks in the 1940s and 2000s and minima in the 1960–1970s. The overall Bering Sea pollock biomass dynamics was assessed by three major fishing regions: Donut hole area (+ Bogosloff area), West and North Bering Sea, and East Bering Sea. Each region has its own characteristics of biomass dynamics, although a comparative analysis of walleye pollock biomass changes in the entire ...
