Ecosystem Mngt Info. –Bottom trawl effort (Coon)
Executive Summary• CLIMATE
– North Pacific in uncertain state – BS continues to warm, less sea ice and earlier retreat– GOA bottom temps in shallow areas continue to increase
• BIOLOGY– BS summer zooplankton biomass: low 2000-2004– BS jellyfish biomass: low 2000-2004– Warming trend may affect flatfish distribution– Climate change may affect GOA community– Most seabirds show no discernable population trend– 2002 seabird breeding chronology was early– 2004 N. fur seal pups born continued to decline– 2004 non-pup Steller sea lion counts increased in most areas– ASP in BS and GOA decreased from 1978-2004
• FISHERY EFFECTS– 2003 and 2004 increases in herring and other salmon bycatch– 2003 seabird bycatch rate increased
October Council Meetings– Presented to SSC, AP, and Council– SSC Comments:
• Commend all contributors• Label when contributions were updated• Further development of executive summary• Link stock assessment results with updates
to the ecosystem assessment and • Incorporate climate information into stock
assessments and the ecosystem assessment.
Next Year– One full update; one partial update– Update website
http://access.afsc.noaa.gov/REFM/REEM/index.cfm
Website Updates• Data and contributions last updated in
spring• Next update: late fall, after final draft• Internet in fall
http://intra.afsc.noaa.gov/reem/index.cfm
Objectives for Ecosystem Protection:
Maintain predator-prey relationships pelagic forage availabilityspatial/temporal conc. of fishery impact on forage fishremovals of top predatorsintroduction of non-native species
Maintain diversity species diversityfunctional (trophic, structural habitat) diversitygenetic diversity
Maintain energy flow and balancehuman-induced energy redirectionsystem impacts attributable to energy removal

Executive Summary• CLIMATE
– North Pacific in uncertain state – BS continues to warm, less sea ice and earlier retreat
• BIOLOGY– BS summer zooplankton biomass: low 2000-2004– BS jellyfish biomass: low 2000-2004– Warming trend may affect flatfish distribution– Climate change may affect GOA community– Most seabirds show no discernable population trend– 2002 seabird breeding chronology was early– 2004 N. fur seal pups born continued to decline– 2004 non-pup Steller sea lion counts increased in most areas– ASP in BS and GOA decreased from 1978-2004
• FISHERY EFFECTS– 2003 and 2004 increases in herring and other salmon bycatch– 2003 seabird bycatch rate increased
DATA GAPS & RESEARCH NEEDS
• Lower trophic levels – indicators of bottom-up effects of climate
• Introduction of non-native species
• Spatial and temporal concentration of fishing removals
• Species-level catch estimates for some nontarget species (eg. eelpouts)
FUTURE
• Timing of Ecosystem Considerations
• Include model projections in assessment including climate scenarios and suites mngt. alternatives
• Bring lower trophic level models into assessment
