A Summary of Juvenile Salmon Research along the Eastern Bering Sea Shelf by the Ocean Carrying Capacity Program, August-October (2001-2005)

摘要

Mechanisms affecting marine survival of eastern Bering Sea salmon stocks are poorly understood due to the lack of basic biological information about the early marine life history of salmon in this region. Earlier studies of juvenile salmon migration in the eastern Bering Sea were generally focused within Bristol Bay (Straty 1974; Hartt and Dell 1986; Isakson et al. 1986). Information on juvenile salmon in the Arctic, Yukon, and Kuskokwim region is limited to a 1986 study of juvenile salmon that was restricted to a few sample stations around the Yukon River delta (Martin et al. 1986). Summaries of these studies can be found in Brodeur et al. (2003).
