Ecosystem Research In Alaska

We study Alaska ecosystems through a combination of scientific observation and model development to examine how environmental change, including climate change, affects the long-term health of fish, crabs, and other marine life and the communities that rely on them.   Our goal is to provide ecosystem information to fishermen, resource managers, and others so they can make informed decisions ensuring sustainable fisheries and maintaining ecosystem and community resiliency.

Fish Growth and Survival Studies in Alaska

For each species or ecosystem that we study, we attempt to understand what factors affect species growth and survival and cause or contribute to population fluctuations over various time periods (e.g., between years and between decades).

Alaska Food Web Research

A key area of fisheries and ecosystem research is collecting and analyzing data about food chains in the North Pacific. Data are put into environmental assessments, and single-species and multispecies models so we can better understand the relationships between organisms, and to their physical surroundings.
