Abstract

This article continues the discussion about the limiting influence of climate conditions on the dynamics of Pacific salmon abundance and on the status of biological resources in the Far Eastern seas. The conclusion that the multifactor impacts of climatic and hydrological conditions on populations and communities cannot be described only by climatic indices and sea surface temperature anomalies in the cold season is substantiated. A comparison of bioresource stocks between various regions of the Far Eastern seas shows a positive effect of modern global warming on the condition and sustainability of the fisheries resource base.
