Abstract

Based on the results of research in 1995–2020, mass and potentially commercial fish species have been identified in Russian waters of the Chukchi Sea. Among the 72 species recorded in trawl catches, 16 species from six families were mass species; fishes of the cod family (Gadidae) were absolutely dominant among them (on average, 92.6% of the total commercial biomass of marine fishes). In the late 1990s–early 2000s, the stocks of this family were represented mainly by polar cod Boreogadus saida. In the late 2010s, its biomass significantly decreased; however, the stocks of Walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) significantly increased as a result of its migrations from the northern part of the Bering Sea. The size-age and weight characteristics, features of the linear and weight growth, and period, scale, and conditions of spawning and feeding have been analyzed for Walleye pollock, polar cod, saffron cod Eleginus gracilis, and Pacific cod G. macrocephalus. The biological parameters of the fishes from the Chukchi and Bering seas have been compared. It is noted that saffron cod and Pacific cod in the study area are represented mainly by juveniles and immature individuals. In addition to juveniles, a significant number of individuals with a length of over 50 cm at age ≥7 years have been recorded among Walleye pollock individuals in 2018–2020. Polar cod from the Chukchi shelf differed in a smaller body size than polar cod from the northwestern part of the Bering Sea.
