Resource managers in the United States and worldwide are tasked with identifying mitigating trade-offs between human activities deep sea (e.g., fishing, energy development, mining) their impacts on habitat-forming invertebrates, including deep-sea corals sponges (DSCS). Related management decisions require information about where DSCS occur what densities. Species distribution modeling (SDM) provides a cost-effective means of potential habitat over large areas to inform these data...

Although species distribution models (SDMs) are commonly used to hindcast fine‐scale population metrics, there remains a paucity of information about how well these predict future responses climate. Many conventional SDMs rely on spatially‐explicit but time‐invariant conditions quantify distributions and densities. We compared status quo ‘static' with more climate‐informed 'dynamic' assess whether the addition time‐varying processes would improve performance and/or forecast skill. Here, we...
Over the past two decades, numerous ecosystem surveys and process studies have emerged to monitor assess large marine ecosystems of Alaska. Several regional collaborative integrated research projects (IERPs) were conducted gain understanding fish population fluctuations in relation surrounding environment. The Gulf Alaska (GOA) IERP is one example such an effort. Products this program include a suite situ observations from fully surveys, laboratory experiments physical thresholds for...
Abstract For marine fish with ontogenetic shifts in habitat requirements, survival is dependent upon oceanographic transport of pelagic larvae from spawning locations and the arrival settlement‐stage to nursery habitats. Settlement success for nurseries on continental shelf, such as many flatfish, relies routes that facilitate delivery offshore suitable inshore To address spatial temporal coupling between spawning, transport, settlement, we utilized an individual‐based biophysical model...
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are an important tool for conservation and resource management. However, managers often interested in derived quantities such as range or area occupied, how these calculated can have a large impact. Ecosystem‐based management typically requires spatial information about species distributions, which is increasingly generated from SDMs that then processed to identify occupied habitat. Many types of exist, but there little research regarding this...
Many rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) inhabit rugged areas of seafloor that are inaccessible to survey trawl gear.Their utilization such habitat makes estimation their abundance difficult.Furthermore, it is often difficult assess whether trawlable or untrawlable and estimate the spatial extent both types.To help determine trawlability for continental shelf in Gulf Alaska, we used multibeam sonar data collected area during 2011, 2013, 2015.These were derive 3 characteristics seafloor: oblique...
