“…В осенний и зимний периоды рыбы обитают на глубинах 150−220 м. С началом весны и летом большая часть трески перемещается на мелководье для нереста и нагула. В Кроноцком заливе нерест трески отмечается с января по март с пиком в феврале на глубинах порядка 200 м. Молодь трески в Кроноцком и Камчатском заливах обитает на глубинах от 25 до 250 м при средней глубине 96 м [16]. Треска встречается повсеместно в водах Камчатки, но ее концентрации распределены неравномерно [16], плотные скопления часто отмечаются над подводными хребтами, поднятиями (банками) [27,28].…”

We studied the Steller's sea lion Eumetopias jubatus feeding ecology based on undigested food items found in feces at the Kozlova Cape rookery, Eastern coast of Kamchatka Peninsula, in summers (2004 through 2008). Atka mackerel Pleurogrammus monopterygius and walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma were dominant in a sea lion diet hauled out at Kozlova Cape rookery in terms of frequency of occurrence. Less frequently occurred were Pacific sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus, Threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculaeatus, Smelt Osmerus mordax, Sculpins Cottidae, Pacific sandfish Trichodon trichodon, Flatfishes Pleuronectidae, Salmon Oncorhynchus sp., Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus, and Squid and Octopus Cephalopoda. The contribution of the other food items was not significant. Diet diversity median during sea lion single foraging trip was two prey items, range being one to nine Atka mackerel and Walleye pollock as the major prey objects. Most of sea lion food items were referred to species featuring a marked seasonal presence near the shore or on the shelf. Sea lions feed near the rookery close to the shore on seasonal food aggregations common to the area. Seasonal prey aggregations can be extremely important for breeding animals due to increasing the efficiency of food search and capture, which in turn can affect the reproductive success of animals and their survival. In this regard, the stability of the food resource near Kozlova Cape Rookery may influence sea lion population status there.

For paciﬁc cod in the northwestern Bering Sea, biomass of the summer-fall feeding aggregations in the speciﬁed area of their highest density (polygon) is considered as a stock unit. The ﬁsh in these aggregations belong to the populations spawn in both local and adjacent areas. The stock values, biological parameters, and annual catches are determined for the period from 1965 to 2022 on the materials collected in research surveys and commercial expeditions, as well as on the data of ﬁshery statistics and cited data. The average length of cod caught by different commercial ﬁshing gears is determined as 42.01 cm for Danish seine, 53.01 cm for bottom trawls, 58.15 cm for midwater trawls, 61.94 cm for longlines. The midwater and bottom trawls used in research surveys are equipped with the rigging for better account of juvenile ﬁsh, therefore the average length of cod in their catches is 46.42 and 36.52 cm, respectively. The cod aged from 3 to 12 years are presented in the longline catches, with the modal group of 5 years old, but the age range is wider for bottom trawls, from yearlings to 12–13 years old ﬁsh, with a modal group varying from 2 to 5 years old in different years. The parameters of von Bertalanffy equation of linear growth for paciﬁc cod are determined as: L∞ = 111.993 cm, K = 0.159, and t0 = –0.024 and for the equation of weight growth rate: W∞ = 14.006 kg, K = 0.245, and t0 = 1.221. The age of mass maturation is 4.4 years. The instantaneous coefﬁcient of natural mortality, calculated by Tyurin, is age-dependent, with the minimum for 5 years old ﬁsh (0.345 year–1), 1.245 year–1 for yearlings, 1.231 year–1 for 11 years old ﬁsh, and 1.860 year–1 for 12 years old ﬁsh. History of the cod ﬁshery in the northwestern Bering Sea is traced since its start in 1965. The cod ﬁshery was realized with various types of ﬁshing vessels (from small seiners to supertrawlers) and ﬁshing gears, but the bulk of annual catch was landed with longlines (65.9 % in the 2010–2022, whereas only 21.4 % was landed with bottom trawls and 12.7 % with Danish seine). Overﬁshing happened in 1971, when the annual catch increased to 91,600 t on the background of poor replenishment, after that the catch decreased to 760–1420 t in 1976–1979. Then the stock had recovered and the catch increased from 3890 t in 1980 to 58,480 t in 1986. Next decline to 13,810 t in 2009 was followed by a new growth to the record value of 106.2 . 103 t in 2020, but recently the annual catch decreased again (61.5 . 103 t in 2022). This dynamics corresponded to the stock ﬂuctuations: according to the trawl surveys data, the spawning stock within the polygon ranged between 66.5–282.6 . 103 tons in the 1965–1974, decreased to 24.5 . 103 t in 1977 because of overﬁshing, gradually recovered to 108.1 . 103 t in 1980, 173.0 . 103 t in 1982, and 561.6 . 103 t in 2000, then declined again to 151.4 . 103 t in 2001 and grew in the last two decades to the maximum values of 1,297.9 . 103 t in 2018. Recently a rapid decline of the stock is observed to 475.0 . 103 t in 2022. The changes of the assessed spawning stock generally precede for two years the CPUE changes due to relatively younger age composition in the catches of research bottom trawl used for the stock calculation, in comparison with the age composition in commercial catches. The stock dynamics within the polygon in the northwestern Bering Sea is driven by variations of the cod feeding migration to this area that correlates with the extension of the coldwater pool at the sea bottom around St. Lawrence Island. From the other hand, the migration depends on the cod abundance on the spawning grounds that could be negatively impacted by the bottom trawl ﬁshery in the spawning season. Since 2002, the ﬁshing pressure was moderate, and ﬁshing mortality did not exceed the ﬁshing exploitation target. However, overﬁshing is possible in the next 3–4 years, if the ﬁshing mortality goes beyond the target benchmark.
