Using DNA metabarcoding, we examined diet composition, prey resources, and saxitoxin (STX) and parasite exposure in Steller sea lions (SSL) in the Gulf of Alaska in July and October 2022–2023 using 251 scat samples and 45 seawater samples. Using 12S rRNA

Abundance, condition, and diet of juvenile Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) in the Aleutian Islands [PDF]
T he relative value of pelagic habitat for three size classes of juvenile Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) was investigated by comparing their abundance and condition in two areas of the Aleutian Islands. Diet, zooplankton biomass, and water column

Survey- and fishery-derived estimates of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) biomass: implications for strategies to reduce interactions between groundfish fisheries and Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) [PDF]
Survey- and fishery-derived biomass estimates have indicated that the harvest indices for Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) within a portion of Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) critical habitat in February and March 2001 were five to 16 times ...

Using poststratification to improve abundance estimates from multispecies surveys: a study of juvenile flatfishes [PDF]
Population assessments seldom incorporate habitat information or use previously observed distributions of fish density. Because habitat affects the spatial distribution of fish density and overall abundance, the use of habitat information and previous ...

REVENUE RISK AND FISHERY CHOICE WITH LINEAR-EXPONENTIAL UTILITY: AN APPLICATION TO BERING SEA/ALEUTIAN ISLANDS TRAWL FISHERIES [PDF]
A discrete choice model of 1991-96 trawl groundfish fishery participation in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands region is developed and estimated. The model fits well, with strong risk and seasonal effects.
