1 AFSC Oceanographic characteristics of the habitat of benthic fish and invertebrates in the Beaufort Sea Elizabeth Logerwell, Kimberly Rand Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service Thomas J. Weingartner School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, University of Alaska Fairbanks Lowell Wakefield Symposium March 27, 2013

2 Beaufort Sea surveys Frost and Lowry; opportunistic sampling on CGC Glacier 1990 Thorsteinson et al; nearshore sampling; further offshore than previous surveys No quantitative survey before 2008 U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 2

3 Objectives Baseline for oil/gas development and climate change Methods for future monitoring surveys Species, distribution, abundance, and biological characteristics of fish and invertebrates Oceanography BOEMRE OCS Report U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 3

4 Approach Distribution and abundance of benthic fish and invertebrates Compare to ocean temperature and salinity Oceanographic characteristics of habitat Potential impacts of climate change Logerwell, E.A., K.M. Rand and T.J. Weingartner Oceanographic characteristics of the habitat of benthic fish and invertebrates in the Beaufort Sea. Polar Biology 34 (11): U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 4

24 Conclusions Arctic cod, eelpouts, pollock and snow crab were abundant off the shelf associated with cold, high salinity water derived from the Chukchi Sea through Barrow canyon Sculpins were abundant on the shelf What will be the impacts of climate change on oceanographic processes such as transport of Chukchi Sea water through Barrow canyon?
