Body Condition as a Shared Response to Environment in a Commercially Important Demersal Fish Assemblage

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 264-284, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Measures of an organism's weight at a given length are often considered reliable indicators of energy reserves or ‘condition’, which can be related to fecundity and risk of mortality. Understanding the impact of environmental change on fish condition may therefore inform sustainable management of human activities in marine ecosystems.

Practical Application of a Bioenergetic Model to Inform Management of a Declining Fur Seal Population and Their Commercially Important Prey

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Food availability is a key concern for the conservation of marine top predators, particularly during a time when they face a rapidly changing environment and continued pressure from commercial fishing activities.

Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Community structure and range shifts in Arctic marine fish under climate change

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Arctic marine ecosystems are rapidly transforming due to climate change. Warming temperatures and shrinking sea ice are enabling boreal fish to expand northward, possibly disturbing cold‐adapted Arctic species assemblages. Species range shifts have been documented in the Bering and Barents Seas, raising concerns about ecosystem restructuring.

A transformative approach to ageing fish otoliths using Fourier transform-near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS): a case study of eastern Bering Sea walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We investigated the use of Fourier transform-near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS), which is a method of measuring light absorbance signatures, to derive ages from eastern Bering Sea walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) otoliths.

Otolith radiocarbon signatures provide distinct migration history of walleye pollock around Hokkaido, Japan in the North‐Western Pacific

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Trace elements and stable isotope ratios in otoliths have been used as proxies for the migration history of teleosts; however, their application in oceanic fishes remains limited.

Spatial and temporal changes in assemblage structure of zooplankton and pelagic fish in the eastern Bering Sea across varying climate conditions

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2015
Zooplankton and pelagic fish samples collected on the eastern Bering Sea shelf in late summer 2003-2010 were used to evaluate spatial and temporal changes in the plankton and nekton community structure.

Development and optimization of general drying models for cod (Gadus spp.) using supercritical carbon dioxide [PDF]

open access: yes
This study aimed to investigate the supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) drying of cod (Gadus spp.) by developing and optimizing a general mathematical drying model.

The critical first year of life of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) in the eastern Bering Sea: Implications for recruitment and future research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) support a large commercial fishery in the eastern Bering Sea despite large interannual and decadal swings in population abundance.
