Abstract The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has been described by some as a long-lived
El Niño-like pattern of Pacific climate variability, and by others as a blend of two sometimes …

It is now widely accepted that a climatic regime shift transpired in the North Pacific Ocean in
the winter of 1976–77. This regime shift has had far reaching consequences for the large …

Evidence gleaned from the instrumental record of climate data identifies a robust, recurring
pattern of ocean–atmosphere climate variability centered over the midlatitude North Pacific …

Bakun, A., 2002: An empirical test for the existence of a generation-time-dependent
mechanism for the rapid adaptive response of fish populations to variations in ocean …

Oceanic heat sources disturb the atmosphere, which, to come back to its initial state,
disperses waves. These waves affect the climate in remote regions, characterizing the …

We propose a new hypothesis, the Oscillating Control Hypothesis (OCH), which predicts that
pelagic ecosystem function in the southeastern Bering Sea will alternate between primarily …

The life history traits of 42 marine fish species were grouped according to the theoretical
classifications of life history strategies. This provides a conceptual framework of …

The importance of salmon to the Pacific Northwestâ€" economic, recreational, symbolicâ€" is
enormous. Generations ago, salmon were abundant from central California through Idaho …

A principal component analysis reveals that Pacific salmon catches in Alaska have varied
inversely with catches from the US West Coast during the past 70 years. If variations in catch …

A major reorganization of the North‐east Pacific biota transpired following a climaticregime
shift'in the mid 1970s. In this paper, we characterize the effects of interdecadal climate …
