Large Marine Ecosystems of the Pacific Rim uses a case-based approach to reflect the growing awareness of the fragile health of LMEs of the Pacific Ocean. This book offers ways in which ecologists can assess, monitor and mitigate coastal stressors in a region that represents over half of the world's population - much of which exists at or below poverty level.
Prologue; Background and focus; I: Regime Shifts; A dynamical scenario for simultaneous "regime-scale" marine population shifts in widely separated LMEs of the Pacific; Large-scale climate-related changes in the carrying capacity of salmon in the Strait of Georgia and northern North Pacific ecosystems; The interdecal climatic change signal in the temperate LMEs of the Pacific; Long-term variations in pelagic communities in the large marine ecosystems of the West Pacific Ocean; Present state and trends of the Bering Sea epipelagic nekton communities in relation to global climatic-oceanographic change; Long-term change in the North Pacific Ocean: a consideration of some important issues; Plankton patterns, climate and change in the California Current; Interannual variations in zooplankton biomass in the Gulf of Alaska, and covariation with California Current zooplankton biomass; II: Case Studies; Eastern Bering Sea Ecosystem trends; Status and perspectives of living marine resources of the Yellow Sea ecosystem in Korean Waters; Ecology and variability of economically important pelagic fishes in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea; The Large Marine Ecosystem of the Japan Sea; Changes in the biomass of the East China Sea ecosystem; Changing state and health of the Gulf of Thailand Large Marine Ecosystem; Effects of physical and biological changes on the biomass yield of the Humboldt Current ecosystem; Stratified models of Large Marine Ecosystems: a general approach and an application to the South China Sea; III: Methodological Studies; Differences between boreal and temperate multispecies fisheries systems: form and implications for multispecies assessment and management; The significance and prediction of predation in marine fisheries; Acoustic assessment as an available technique in monitoring the living resources of large marine ecosystems; Shoal structure of commercially important pelagic fish in relation to the dynamics of upwelling marine ecosystems; Measurements of the upper ocean structure using towed profiling systems; Automated systems for marine monitoring and ecological research; High-resolution biogeochemical monitoring for assessing environmental and ecological changes in marginal seas using ferry boats; IV: Indicators of Ecosystem Health; Nutrients in the Bohai Sea; Ecological carrying capacity of semi-enclosed Large Marine Ecosystems; Alteration of fatty acid composition of coastal diatoms under cadmium stress; Gills and skin as bio-indicators of water pollution in fish from freshwater and the Yellow Sea; Pollution in the Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem: monitoring, research and ecological effects; V: Management Linkages; Management of the Great Barrier Reef as a Large Marine Ecosystem; Borneo's marine ecosystem and the greenhouse risk factor: a national perspective; Large Marine Ecosystems: assessment and management from drainiage basins to ocean; VI: Recommendations
