Patterns in Distribution and Abundance of Ichthyoplankton off Washington, Oregonand Northern California (1980 to 1987)

摘要

The study discusses the early life history of fish in coastal waters extendingfrom the Strait of Juan de Fuca off Washington to northern California, between 40 degrees N and 48 degrees N and 3 to 200 miles offshore. It is based on plankton and hydrographic data collected off Washington, Oregon, and northern California during the 1980s. Ten research cruises were conducted during this period with cooperative ventures by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), in Seattle, and the Soviet Pacific Research Institute (TINRO) in Vladivostok.
