Abstract Excerpt:
Over the last 100 years, the Far East salmon stocks have been characterized by substantial long-term variability (Fig. 1). The period of their high abundance in the 1920s–1940s was followed by depression of the stocks in the 1960s and the 1970s. The new rise of abundance and biomass of Far East salmons began in the 1980s, and in 2009 the total Russian catch reached its maximum of 540,000 metric tons. The data for 1910–1971 in Fig. 1 was taken from Klyashtorin and Smirnov (1992). They took into account the Japanese catches in Russian waters. The catch statistics for 1972–2017 is available online from the NPAFC website (www.npafc.org). Mean monthly sea surface temperature (SST) values were taken from the ERSST v3b dataset, available online at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd (Smith et al. 2008).
