Pollock and the Blob: Impacts of a marine heatwave on walleye pollock early life stages

Lauren A. Rogers et al.

Summary: The North Pacific marine heatwave of 2014-2016, also known as The Blob, had negative impacts on the early life stages of walleye pollock in the Gulf of Alaska, including record low levels of larvae, low survival rates, and poor body condition of juvenile pollock. The decline in the 2015 year class of walleye pollock was attributed to multiple mechanisms associated with the anomalous ocean warming, emphasizing the importance of considering complex interactions beyond simple temperature-abundance relationships when predicting species responses to climate warming.

Predator-scale spatial analysis of intra-patch prey distribution reveals the energetic drivers of rorqual whale super-group formation

David E. Cade et al.

Summary: Animals are distributed relative to available resources, but describing resource availability at relevant spatial scales remains a challenge in ecology. Research shows that humpback and blue whales exhibit higher feeding rates and energy intake within super-aggregations, mainly influenced by high-biomass portions of prey patches.

Baleen whale prey consumption based on high-resolution foraging measurements

Matthew S. Savoca et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the consumption of krill by whales is much larger than previously thought, with some ecosystems underestimating it by threefold or more. By using 3D whale locations and acoustic measurements of prey density, researchers were able to calculate the prey consumption at daily to annual scales, revealing the significant impact of baleen whales on ecosystem function and nutrient recycling. This suggests that the recovery of baleen whales and their nutrient recycling services could potentially enhance productivity and restore lost ecosystem function caused by 20th century whaling.
