Synchrony in the Northeast PacificSynchrony of
biological time series
Ecosystem regime shifts
Correspond with climatic shifts
Leading principal component scores from principal component analysis of 69 North Pacific biological time series (Hare
and Mantua, 2000)
Common patterns of variabilityPositive correlation
within groundfish taxonomic group and region, negative between (Hollowed et al. 1987, Mueter et al. 2007)
Grouping based on life history (Spencer and Collie, 1997)
BSAI groundfish stock-recruit residuals and cluster dendogram
based on these (Mueter et al., 2007)
HypothesisOrganisms with related life history and habitat
characteristics will show similar exposure to environmental variables and exhibit common patterns of recruitment/abundance
DataRecruitment
Number of fish surviving to enter the fishery or some specified age
We have survey and fishing data of adult stages but don’t know a lot about what happens during early life
Age of recruitment varies by species GOA walleye pollock: age-2 GOA Pacific cod: age-0 GOA arrowtooth flounder: age-3
Lag time series to line up by age-0Estimated in stock assessment models

ConclusionsCommon patterns are exhibited by marine species
throughout the North PacificSimilar to those identified by Hare and Mantua (2000)
Loadings on these patterns seem related to region and life history
Large scale physical forces coordinate environment/ecosystem changes important to many stocks using different habitats across large distances
We hypothesize this is a consequence of multiple mechanisms operating in different places at the same timeA mixed-bag of sometimes similar and sometimes different
mechanisms at play for different stocks within and between large marine ecosystems
