Yellowfin Sole (Limanda aspera) is one of the most abundant flatfish species in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) and currently is the target of the largest flatfish fishery in the world.
Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) inhabit the northeastern Pacific Ocean from northern Mexico to the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), westward to the Aleutian Islands (AI), and into the Bering Sea (BS; Wolotira et al. 1993).
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) ranges across the northern Pacific Ocean from California, northward to the Gulf of Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and Bering Sea north to Norton Sound; and southward along the Asian coast to the northern Yellow Sea.
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is a transoceanic species, ranging from California, northward along the North American coast; across the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea north to Norton Sound; and southward along the Asian coast to the northern Yellow Sea.
Walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus; Coulson et al. 2006; Carr and Marshall 2008; here after pollock) are distributed throughout the Aleutian Islands (AI) with concentrations in areas and depths dependent on diel and seasonal migration.
This is a three species stock assessment for walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias), from the Eastern Bering Sea (EBS), Alaska updated from Holsman et al. (2016).
Walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) are broadly distributed throughout the North Pacific with the largest concentrations found in the Eastern Bering Sea.
