DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Survey of the Benthic Invertebrate Fauna of the Eastern Bering Sea Several groups, such as annelids, forams, sponge, and the majority of coelenterates and bryozoans have not yet been identified due to the lack of available systematists or reference literature. No attempt was made to conduct quantita tive sampling of the invertebrate fauna since the needs of other king crab studies did not allow extensive sampling.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe overall view presented by this study is of closely interrelated Bering/Chukchi benthic community system that extends unbroken over the entire continental shelf, with the Chukchi Sea benthos probably relying heavily on the Bering Sea for both food supply and possibly recruitment. Indications are that this is a highly productive and relatively stable benthic system comprised of at least eight major faunal zones of considerable complexity. The environmental factor correlating most strongly with the distribution of these faunal zones and with distribution of individual major species appears to be sediment type, though summer bottom temperature may also be critical. The distribution of standing stock biomass in relation to diversity suggests predation pressure on the southern and northern extremes of the study area, presumably the result of benthic-feeding marine mammal populations and possibly, in the case of the southern region, demersal fish. In general terms it appears to be a strongly detrital-based trophic system, with an elevated standing stock biomass observed in the Bering Strait and southern Chukchi Sea region, probably the combined result of high near-surface primary productivity distributions and current structure. The benthic fauna over this region appears to be dominated by boreal Pacific forms, probably also a result of the current structure, with high Arctic forms frequent only in the northern waters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCruise no. 126 of the Albatross III was planned and conducted to gather information about the distribution of fishes across the Continental Shelf from Nantucket Shoals to Cape Hatteras during the late winter period when water temperatures generally are at their minimum. The shelf here has a general hydrographic similarity from north to south, well described by Bigelow (1933), that makes it a particularly worthwhile area in which to study the relation of fish distribution to water temperature, depth, and other factors of the environment. Since the fish of this portion of the shelf support several different, relatively important food and industrial fisheries, as well as an intensive marine sport fishery. Cruise no. 126 served to provide data valuable to several research programs.
