  • The Shantar Tidal Mixing Front
    Tidally driven system around the Shantar Islands (the Sea of Okhotsk). I.A. Zhabin V.I.Il'ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute, Vladivostok, RUSSIA PICES-2011, Khabarovsk, Russia The Shantar Islands are located in the southwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk (Russia, Khabarovsk Region). The Shantar Islands National Park The Shantar Islands area is a unique marine ecosystem that features complex oceanographic processes maintains a high biological diversity of marine life The Sea of Okhotsk is a region of strong tidal currents. According to Kowalik and Polyakov (1998) the major energy sink for diurnal tides is Shelikhov Bay. The major portion of semidiurnal tide energy is dissipated in the southwestern region (Shantar Islands area). The tidal current enhanced over Kashevarov Bank. Vertical stirring assosiated with strong tidal currents is sufficient in some area to mix downward the seasonal buoyancy input and prevent or partly destroy the summer stratification. The boundary between the mixed and stratified waters is delineated by a well defined fronts with sharp change in SST and another properties. The rate of energy dissipation per unit surface in the Okhotsk Sea (erg s-1 cm-2) due to the K1 and M2 tidal components from Kowalik and Polyakov, 1998. The Shantar tidal mixing front The location and seasonal variability of the tidal mixing front (TMF) around the Shantar Islands were studied using satellite and hydrographic data. The Shantar TMF is the dominant feature of the summer hydrographic structure of the southwestern shelf of the Sea of Okhotsk . The mean positions of TMF are compared to the distribution of Simpson and Hunter's (1974) tidal mixing parameter.

  • Pribilof Islands Red King Crab
    2011 Stock Assessment and Fishery Evaluation Report for the Pribilof Islands Blue King Crab Fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Regions R.J. Foy Alaska Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA Executive Summary *highlighted text will be filled in with new survey and catch data prior to the September 2011 meeting. 1. Stock: Pribilof Islands blue king crab, Paralithodes platypus 2. Catches: Retained catches have not occurred since 1998/1999. Bycatch and discards have been steady or decreased in recent years to current levels near 0.5 t (0.001 million lbs). 3. Stock biomass: Stock biomass in recent years was decreasing between the 1995 and 2008 survey, and after a slight increase in 2009, there was a decrease in most size classes in 2010. 4. Recruitment: Recruitment indices are not well understood for Pribilof blue king crab. Pre-recruit have remained relatively consistent in the past 10 years although may not be well assessed with the survey. 5. Management performance: MSST Biomass Retained Total Year TAC OFL ABC (MMBmating) Catch Catch 2,105 113A 0 0 0.5 1.81 2008/09 (4.64) (0.25) (0.001) (0.004) 2,105 513B 0 0 0.5 1.81 2009/10 (4.64) (1.13) (0.001) (0.004) 286 C 1.81 2010/11 (0.63) (0.004) 2011/12 xD All units are tons (million pounds) of crabs and the OFL is a total catch OFL for each year. The stock was below MSST in 2009/10 and is hence overfished. Overfishing did not occur during the 2009/10 fishing year.

  • Sakhalin Island: Nivkh
    70 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Sakhalin Island: Nivkh The Nivkh (or Gilyak in older literature) have traditionally inhabited the north- ern half of Sakhalin Island and adjacent regions of the mainland. They are relatively homogeneous in the cultural sense; their differences are mainly based on local adaptations to geographic environments, and the two distinct dialects, Sakhalin and mainland, are mutually intelligible. Their ethnic compo- sition is more homogeneous than that of their Tungusic-speaking Amur neigh- bors as it consists of a large core of kin groups of Nivkh origin and a minority of lineages that trace their descent to non-Nivkh ethnic ancestors, mainly those of Amur groups and Ainu. Nivkh culture, with its emphasis on sedentary fishing, is to a large extent analogous to those of their Amur and Ainu neighbors; however, the specialized maritime hunting of the coastal Nivkh was of a significance equal to fishing, and their sea-mammal hunting technology as well as the belief system empha- sizing marine animal cults connect the Nivkh with North Pacific coastal cul- tures of both sides of the Bering Strait, and archaeologically, with the maritime Okhotsk culture of the southern Sea of Okhotsk and the Old Koryak culture of northern Sea of Okhotsk. Other traits that distinguish the traditional Nivkh culture from their neighbors are aspects of their non-material culture such as corpse disposal by cremation and the alliance of three lineage units based on asymmetric connubium that contrasts with the reciprocal connubium charac- teristic for the mainland Tungus society as well as for the Amur ethnic com- plex.

Bland ii As the nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has re- sponsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural and cultural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Shared Beringian Heritage Program at the National Park Service is an international program that rec- ognizes and celebrates the natural resources and cultural heritage shared by the United States and Russia on both sides of the Bering Strait. The program seeks local, national, and international participation in the preservation and understanding of natural resources and protected lands and works to sustain and protect the cultural traditions and subsistence lifestyle of the Native peoples of the Beringia region.

  • Status and Occurrence of Parakeet Auklet (Aethia Psittacula) in British Columbia
    Status and Occurrence of Parakeet Auklet (Aethia psittacula) in British Columbia. By Rick Toochin and Louis Haviland. Introduction and Distribution The Parakeet Auklet (Aethia psittacula) is a small species of auklet found breeding in the Beringia region of Alaska and Russia (Gaston and Jones 1998). This species has an Alaskan population estimated at 1 million birds (Gaston and Jones 1998). There is also a Russian population, but the exact population total is not known, due to a lack of population inventory work, but it is estimated to number about 400,000 birds with the vast majority, about 300,000 birds, found in the Sea of Okhotsk (Gaston and Jones 1998). The Parakeet Auklet has breeding colonies that are found on rocky mainland points and islands in the Gulf of Alaska (Jones et al. 2001). These sites include: Shumagin Island, Semidi Isand, Chirikof Island near Kodiak, locally in Kenai Peninsula and southeastern Alaska with small numbers south to St. Lazaria, Hazy and Forrester Island; and in the Aleutian Islands west to Buldir and Agattu Island; and in the Bering Sea at Little Diomede, St. Lawrence Island, King Island, St. Matthew Island, Pribilof Island and Nunivak Island (Sowls et al. 1978). The Parakeet Auklet also breeds in Russia in the Kurile Island chain with colonies on Chirinkontan, Lovushki, Raikoke, Matua, Yankicha, Simushir, Brat Chirpoev, Urup, and Iturup Island (Jones et al. 2001, Brazil 2009). They are also breeding on islands in the Sea of Okhotsk with colonies on Sakhalin, Tyuleniy, Iona, Talan, and Yamskyie Island (Jones et al. 2001, Brazil 2009). The Parakeet Auklet is also found breeding on Commander Island, and northwards locally along coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, on Karaginski Island, Cape Navarin, and on Chukotka Peninsula (Konyukhov 1989, Kondratyev et al.
