Changes over time in the spatial distribution of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the Gulf of Alaska, 1984-1996 [PDF]
Triennial bottom trawl survey data from 1984 to 1996 were used to evaluate changes in the summer distribution of walleye pollock in the western and central Gulf of Alaska. Differences between several age groups of pollock were evaluated. Distribution was

Bottom‐Up Interactions in State‐Space Age‐Structured Models Using Mass‐Balance Dynamics
ABSTRACT Age‐structured models are used worldwide to regulate fisheries. These models typically ignore top‐down interactions (predation affecting natural mortality) and bottom‐up interactions (consumption affecting individual growth, reproduction, or survival), whereas multispecies catch‐at‐age models often incorporate top‐down but not bottom‐up ...

DNA barcoding is a valuable tool for regulatory identification of fish species; however, it does not perform well when multiple species are present within the same food product. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the use of PCR cloning

Drivers and Dynamics of Salmon Bycatch in the Eastern Bering Sea Pollock Fishery
ABSTRACT Minimising bycatch is a pervasive challenge for sustainable fisheries management, the importance of which is amplified for non‐target species or populations that are in decline. In the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) fishery, salmon—most notably Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and chum (O.

Stage-specific vertical distribution of Alaska plaice (Pleuronectes quadrituberculatus) eggs in the eastern Bering Sea [PDF]
The stage-specific distribution of Alaska plaice (Pleuronectes quadrituberculatus) eggs in the southeastern Bering Sea was examined with collections made in mid-May in 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006.

Diets of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in Southeast Alaska, 1993−1999 [PDF]
The diet of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) was determined from 1494 scats (feces) collected at breeding (rookeries) and nonbreeding (haulout) sites in Southeast Alaska from 1993 to 1999.

Morphological variation and habitat‐trophic metrics from carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes were estimated in Greenland cod (Gadus ogac) collected along the marine coast near Ulukhaktok, NT, in the western Canadian Arctic. This study provides critical insights into the ability of coastal Arctic Gadids to respond to shifts in resource use
