Climate change is expected to strongly impact Alaskan (USA) marine ecosystems, particularly those of the northern Bering Sea. To understand how climate change may alter predator demand for prey resources, we quantified the relationship... more
Modelled connectivity between Walleye Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) spawning and age-0 nursery areas in warm and cold years with implications for juvenile survival. Adult and early life stage distributions of the commercially important... more
To determine the effects of diet mixing on digestive performance, harbour seals (Phoca vitulina L., 1758) were offered either pure diets of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii Valenciennes, 1847) or walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma... more
Walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is the target of one of the world's largest fisheries and is an important prey species in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) ecosystem. Little is known about the potential effects of fishing on the... more
As one of the major oceanic sinks of anthropogenic CO2, the Southern Ocean plays a critical role in the climate system. However, due to the scarcity of observations, little is known about physical and biological processes that control... more
We conducted surveys in Bristol Bay on the southeastern Bering Sea shelf during late August to mid-September 2000-2003, as part of the Bering-Aleutian Salmon International Survey (BASIS). Our main objective was to compare biological and... more
Amidwater trawl sur vey was conducted during July 1991, to examine the large-scale distribution patterns of late larval and early juve nile walleye pollock, Theragra chalco gramma, and associated fish taxa in the western GulfofAlaska.... more
Problem: Infer relative danger from spatially segregated predators in large-scale marine systems, using individual differences in prey foraging behaviour. Mathematical models: Optimization of trade-offs between predation risk and energy... more
The controversy surrounding a proposal to allocate walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma and Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus harvested in US fisheries off Alaska is reviewed. The walleye pollock allocation, which generated the most... more
Quantitative assessment of semidemersal fish such as walleye pollock ( Theragra chalcogramma ) is difficult because the proportion of walleye pollock available to standardized surveys varies temporally and spatially. The US National... more
