Climate-driven shifts in pelagic fish distributions in a rapidly changing Pacific Arctic
Baseline surveys of offshore pelagic fishes in the eastern Chukchi Sea in 2012 and 2013 found that age-0 Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) dominated the pelagic fish community in summer, with relatively few adults present in the region. Since this time, drastic changes in the ocean-atmosphere-ice feedback loop have led to continued warming, further reducing ice cover, and increased northward transport has led to an increase in Pacific-origin waters on the Chukchi shelf in summer. To examine potential bottom-up effects of these environmental changes on pelagic fishes in this rapidly changing environment, we extended a time series of large-scale acoustic-trawl surveys with additional surveys in 2017 and 2019. Age-0 Arctic cod were the most abundant pelagic fish in all four survey years, comprising 68–93% of fish abundance. However, age-0 walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), which were scarce (<0.1% of fishes) and confined to the southern Chukchi in 2012 and 2013, were present in high abundance (>21% of fish abundance) throughout the Chukchi shelf in 2017 and 2019. Age-0 Arctic cod were substantially more abundant in 2017 than in other years, possibly due to increased survivorship of larvae under warm conditions. Unlike in 2017, Arctic cod and pollock were spatially separated in 2019 due to enhanced transport, with Arctic cod primarily present in the northeastern portion of the survey area, which was characterized by cool surface and bottom temperatures. The substantial increase in abundance of age-0 pollock in recent years suggests that environmental conditions now allow this species to extend its northern range into the southern and central Chukchi Sea, at least on a seasonal basis. The changes in abundance and species composition of pelagic fishes in the 2012–2019 time series are tightly coupled to recent changes in sea ice, temperature, and the increasing transport of Bering Sea waters through Bering Strait into the Chukchi Sea. Given that the environment is expected to experience further warming and increased transport, these northward shifts in species distribution are likely to persist in the future.
期刊介绍:
Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography publishes topical issues from the many international and interdisciplinary projects which are undertaken in oceanography. Besides these special issues from projects, the journal publishes collections of papers presented at conferences. The special issues regularly have electronic annexes of non-text material (numerical data, images, images, video, etc.) which are published with the special issues in ScienceDirect. Deep-Sea Research Part II was split off as a separate journal devoted to topical issues in 1993. Its companion journal Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, publishes the regular research papers in this area.
