The North-West Pacific waters at Kuril Islands are characterized by high productivity because of high water dynamics due to interaction of the Kamchatka, Oyashio, and Kuroshio Currents and tidal mixing. Abundance, species composition, and spatial density of nekton in the upper epipelagic layer (0-50...
