Distribution, Abundance, and Settlement of Slope-spawning Flatfish during Early Life Stages in the Eastern Bering Sea

Creator:

Sohn, Dongwha

Abstract:

Changes in environmental conditions in marine ecosystems could directly or indirectly influence distribution, abundance, settlement, and size at settlement of flatfish. Understanding species-specific and age-specific responses to environmental variability is important for managing commercially important flatfish stocks. Slope-spawning flatfish whose offspring rely on extensive drift from the slope (spawning) to...

Using auklets to monitor the effects of global warming on the Bering Sea ecosystem : Detecting change in auklet food supply, productivity, and populations

Creator:

Sheffield, Lisa M.

Abstract:

Global warming is progressing more rapidly in polar-regions, and its effects are more pronounced at high latitudes than in other parts of the globe. Changing ocean conditions due to climate change are predicted to have dramatic impacts on marine foodwebs. Seabirds, as upper trophic-level consumers, provide a highly visible and...
