The Responses of Slope-spawning Flatfish to Environmental Variability in the Eastern Bering Sea

Creator:

Vestfals, Cathleen D.

Abstract:

When adult spawning and juvenile settling locations of marine fishes are geographically separated, their early life history stages must rely on transport and their own behavior to move them toward suitable habitats for successful recruitment to the juvenile phase. Variations in climate may reduce the availability of spawning and juvenile...

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...
