Abstract Excerpt:
Over the past several years, the Northeast Pacific has experienced a broad range of conditions ranging from “normal” to unprecedented warm temperature anomalies. Such extreme climate variability had clear impacts on the biology and provided the opportunity to explore the mechanisms through which large-scale climate change influences salmon through bottom-up processes. We used data from several monitoring programs in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound to explore spatial and interannual variability in ecosystem response to environmental change over 2014–2017. We focus on changes in temperature and zooplankton relationships to juvenile salmon growth and survival in four regions, from north to south: the San Juan Islands, Admiralty Inlet, Central Basin, and South Sound.
