Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) and saffron (Eleginus gracilis) are the most abundant ecologically important forage fishes in Pacific Arctic marine ecosystem, yet little is known about their spawning locations or habitats occupied by early life stages (ELS). We developed a biophysical transport model coupled to Pan-Arctic hydrodynamic ocean circulation identify potential examine connectivity betwe...

This paper synthesizes the trophic dynamics of a Canadian arctic marine ecosystem in so far as it is known, using new data on primary production, zooFlankton, the bivalve Mya truncata, and arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), as well as literature values for marine mammals and seabirds. The 98 000 km reglon has a high rate of primary production relative to other parts of arctic Canada. About 60 g Cm-...

It is commonly accepted that no ecosystem model the ‘best’, but rather models should be used in ensembles. This also case for Barents Sea ecosystem, where we have two different to explore role of top-predator Northeast Arctic (NEA) stock Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua, Gadidae) food web. The differ complexity; Gompertz being less complex terms web (7 components) and processes compared Nordic Seas A...
