In 2003, the Alaska walleye pollock industry reported product quality issues attributed to an unspecified parasite in fish muscle. Using molecular and histological methods, we identified the parasite in Bering Sea pollock as Ichthyophonus. Infected pollock were identified throughout the study area, and prevalence was greater in adults than in juveniles. This study not only provides the first do...

The Haskell dialect Mondrian is designed using the explicit philosophy of keeping things simple and consistent. Mon-drian generalizes some of Haskell's (too) complex constructs, and adds a few simple new ones. This results in a small, intuitively comprehensible language with an object oriented avor. In this paper, we will present the design decisions we made for Mondrian. Furthermore, some of M...

Project Summary: Our work investigates the potential for competition between juvenile pollock and capelin, which has implications for how ecosystem change can affect capelin and pollock productivity. Competition negatively impacts feeding opportunities, which can in turn impact fish nutritional status, size and subsequent overwinter survival and recruitment. We are conducting an intensive study...

Stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen were measured in an unexploited population of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) from Prince William Sound, Alaska (PWS) as a metric of feeding niche. Stable isotope data of pollock were compared with each other and with stable isotope data of age-0 herring (Clupea pallasii). There were significant species, location, and time period differences ...

Understanding mechanisms behind variability in early life survival of marine fishes through modeling efforts can improve predictive capabilities for recruitment success under changing climate conditions. Walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) support the largest single-species commercial fishery in the United States and represent an ecologically important component of the Bering Sea ecosystem....

The waters around the Pribilof Islands in the southeast Bering Sea are a center of abundance for age-0 walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma). Each spring and summer a tidal front is formed around the islands separating a well-mixed inshore habitat from a stratified offshore habitat. The objective of this study was to assess the foraging impact on zooplankton by age-0 pollock in the vicinity o...

Human observers can correctly attribute changes in the appearance of a scene either to changes in the incident light or to changes in the spectral-reflectance properties of the scene. This ability was assessed as a function of the time course of illuminant and spectral-reflectance changes. Observers were presented with computer simulations of Mondrian patterns of 49 randomly selected Munsell pa...
