New research on haul-out behavior helps to more accurately estimate the number of ice seals in the Arctic, and improve our efforts to conserve and monitor their populations.
A new study uses spatial models to precisely map how Pacific cod prey on commercially important snow and southern Tanner crabs in the eastern Bering Sea.
Pacific cod fishing communities with few alternative job opportunities and high unemployment are more vulnerable when Pacific cod are less accessible. This is especially true for communities in the southeastern Bering Sea.
New study provides critical insights into the Bering Sea snow crab population collapse in 2018–2019, offers hope for recovery, and provides a new tool for fisheries management.
