In October 1994, 65 researchers gathered in Anchorage for the International Symposium on North Pacific Flatfish. Flatfish are a major part of the ecosystem, but because they do not bring in big dollars on the fisheries market, they are often an ignored resource. The first opportunity for North Pacific flatfish scientists to share information internationally, the symposium provided a perspective for planning ecosystem research.

The Bering Sea, which lies between the United States and Russia, is one of the most productive ecosystems in the world and has prolific fishing grounds. Yet there have been significant unexplained population fluctuations in marine mammals and birds in the region. The book examines the Bering Sea ecosystem's dynamics and the relationship between man and the ecosystem, in order to identify potential reasons for the population fluctuations as well as identify ways the Sea's living resources can be better managed by government.
