Trends in Abundance and Feeding of Chum Salmon in the Western Bering Sea
نویسنده
چکیده
Results from surveys of the western Bering Sea and adjacent Pacific epipelagic waters, performed by TINRO-Centre are reported. Surveys of the nekton community were conducted from 1986 through 2005, annually. Information on the distribution of all chum salmon by age group, the abundance and biomass of chum salmon, and other fish in the western Bering Sea and adjacent Pacific Ocean water are reported. Chum salmon diet differed according to location in the western Bering Sea. All correspondence should be addressed to A.

Bias-Corrected Size Trends in Chum Salmon in the Central Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean
We estimated bias-corrected mean fork lengths of gillnet-caught chum salmon using a size selectivity estimate of the gillnet to test how the bias correction affects the estimated temporal pattern of chum salmon body size, during 1971–1994 and 1994–2007. Results showed bias-corrected mean fork lengths were smaller than uncorrected means. Therefore, when examining ontogenetic changes in fish size...
متن کاملStock-Specific Distribution and Abundance of Immature Sockeye Salmon in the Western Bering Sea in Summer and Fall 2002–2004
Seasonal stock-specific distribution and abundance of immature sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the western Bering Sea in summer 2003 and fall 2002-2004 were determined using scale pattern analysis of Bering-Aleutian Salmon International Survey (BASIS) samples. Most (nearly 100%) of the sockeye salmon in BASIS catches were immature. Four age groups, 1.1, 1.2, 2.1 and 2.2, accounted for mo...
متن کاملStock-Specific Distribution and Abundance of Immature Chinook Salmon in the Western Bering Sea in Summer and Fall 2002–2004
Seasonal stock-specific distribution and abundance of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were determined using scale pattern analysis of Bering-Aleutian Salmon International Survey (BASIS) samples and catch data collected in the western Bering Sea in summer 2003 and fall 2002–2004. Chinook salmon were sparsely distributed in this region, which greatly limited the number of samples availa...
متن کاملTrends in Abundance and Biological Characteristics of Chum Salmon
Chum salmon are the second most abundant salmon in the North Pacific Ocean. In the 1930s, chum salmon were abundant along the Russian coast and in British Columbia. The total catch of chum salmon was small from the late 1940s into the 1970s but increased in the 1980s, reaching historically high levels from the 1990s to the present. Ocean distribution of chum salmon is affected by sea surface te...
متن کاملSalmon in the Arctic and How They Avoid Lethal Low Temperatures
With climate change, scientists and others are interested in the future of Pacific salmon in the Arctic. Chum, pink, sockeye, coho, and chinook salmon have been encountered in the Beaufort Sea, well within Canadian Arctic waters. Chum is the only salmon species regarded as natal to the Mackenzie River watershed, although both pink and chum salmon appear to be natal to Alaska’s North Slope river...
