Abstract
From 1982–1990 to 2006–2010 in the western part of the Bering Sea biomass of the walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus decreased by almost an order of magnitude, from 7.2 to 0.7 million tons. However, in the last decade (2011–2020) its biomass increased to the long-term average value (4.0 million tons). In the eastern part of the sea, the pollock biomass dynamics was of the wave-like nature with the highest value in 1982–1990 and the lowest, in 2006–2010. The food spectrum of the walleye pollock is wide and includes 16 taxonomic groups of aquatic organisms. The main part of average annual food mass consumed by pollock in the Bering Sea in 1982–2020 consisted of zooplankton (74.1%). During different study periods, annual feed consumption varied from 91.1 to 373.0 (average 239.3) million tons per year. Significant fluctuations in the volume of food consumed are mainly associated with the dynamics of the species’ biomass.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Ichthyology is an international peer-reviewed journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. It covers original studies in fish taxonomy, evolution, molecular biology, morphology, species diversity, zoological geography, genetics, physiology, ecology, behavior, reproduction, embryology, invasions, and protection. Some problems of applied ichthyology are also covered. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
