Description
The Bering Sea covers over 2 million square kilometres of the northernmost region of
the Pacific Ocean (NPO, 2008), and is considered to be one of the most productive
seas in the world (Walsh et al., 1989). Linking the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, the Bering
Sea is almost entirely surrounded by the landmasses of Alaska and Russia. A steep
continental slope divides this sea between the expansive continental shelf (<200 m
depth) on its eastern waters and the deep basin (>2000 m depth) to the west (Brown et
al., 2011)...
