CLIMATE CHANGES AND CURRENT STATE OF BIOTA IN THE RUSSIAN WATERS OF THE FAR-EASTERN SEAS

Abstract

Discussion about limiting influence of climate conditions on dynamics of the pacific salmon populations and generally on biological resources of the Far-Eastern Seas is continuing. Multifactor impacts of climate and oceanographic conditions on populations and communities are concluded that cannot be described only by climatic indices and anomalies of the surface water temperature in the ocean in winter. Dynamics of the fish and invertebrates populations in various regions of the Far-Eastern Seas show a positive effect of climate warming on state and sustainability of the resource base for fisheries.
