Abstract:: Predicting recruitment, which is dependent on parent stock size and climate, is vital for forecasting productivity of fish stocks. The effects of climate can be analyzed via the use of climate indices. Three climate indices, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation, and the Oceanic Niño Index, describe...

Creator:: Howard, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: The commercial groundfish fishing industry and groundfish research have a long concurrent history of activity on the Oregon continental margin. Within the non-whiting groundfish fishery, the target species are primarily flatfishes, sablefish, lingcod, and rockfishes, though landings of each have fluctuated over time. Recent work shows that over the past...

Creator:: Wong-Ala, Jennifer A. T. K.
Abstract:: Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) models are used to explore how physical processes influence the transport of particles (e.g., eggs, larvae, or propagules) in the ocean. On the Oregon continental shelf and slope, the Northern California Current System (CCS) is influenced by spatially and temporally variable coastal currents driven by weather,...

Creator:: Moron Correa, Giancarlo Helar
Abstract:: Variations in ocean conditions influenced by climate fluctuations may impact fish populations by changing their spatial distribution, physiology, survival, and other ecological features. Somatic growth is a crucial aspect of the biology of fishes and an important contributor to biomass fluctuations. Climate variability also affects somatic growth rates along the...

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...
