* This value represents an average weighted score of the environmental issues associated to the concern. ** This value represents the overall score including environmental, socio-economic and likely future impacts. *** Priority refers to the ranking of GIWA concerns. Sea of Okhotsk This section presents the results of the assessment of the impacts of each of the fi ve predefi ned GIWA concerns i.e. Freshwater shortage, Pollution, Habitat and community modifi cation, Unsustainable exploitation of fi sh and other living resources, Global change, and their constituent issues and the priorities identifi ed during this process. The evaluation of severity of each issue adheres to a set of predefi ned criteria as provided in the chapter describing the GIWA methodology. In this section, the scoring of GIWA concerns and issues is presented in Table 5 and Annex II.

Characteristics of the zooplankton community in the Okhotsk Sea in autumn: A comparison with the Oyashio region
Based on the vertical stratified zooplankton samples collected during the autumns (September–December) of 1996 to 1998, vertical distribution, biomass, and community structure of zooplankton and calanoid copepods in the southern Okhotsk Sea were evaluated and compared with those of the same period in the Oyashio region. In terms of fauna, zooplankton in the Okhotsk Sea are similar to that in th...
متن کاملRupture complexity of the Mw 8.3 sea of okhotsk earthquake: Rapid triggering of complementary earthquakes?
[1] We derive a finite slip model for the 2013Mw 8.3 Sea of Okhotsk Earthquake (Z= 610 km) by inverting calibrated teleseismic P waveforms. The inversion shows that the earthquake ruptured on a 10° dipping rectangular fault zone (140 km× 50 km) and evolved into a sequence of four large sub-events (E1–E4) with an average rupture speed of 4.0 km/s. The rupture process can be divided into two main...

متن کاملRecent Studies of the Sea of Okhotsk
We recently have had a Japan-Russia-United States International Joint Project, 1997-2002. In this project, we have carried out intensive oceanographic observations in the almost entire Sea of Okhotsk for the first time, using a Russian research vessel; we have had four times cruises, changing seasons. This report summarizes several new findings for the Sea of Okhotsk which were obtained by this...
متن کاملSeasonal variability of primary production off Abashiri, the southern Okhotsk Sea
The Okhotsk Sea is the southernmost marginal sea that is ice-covered during winter; therefore, it is considered to be an area having sensitive environmental characteristics due to the influence of global warming. In order to detect such environmental changes, monitoring of oceanographic conditions is considered important. However, few monitoring studies have been made in the offshore area of th...
