On the Probable Distribution of Stock-Recruitment Resilience of Pacific Saury (Cololabis saira) in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Our numerical simulation approach provides an analytical tool for calculating the steepness distribution in other pelagic fish influenced by increases in sea surface temperature due to global warming.

Subsurface Temperature Estimates From a Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) Reanalysis Provide Accurate Coral Heat Stress Indices Across the Main Hawaiian Islands

The MHI ROMS simulation proves to be a useful tool for coral reef management in the absence of, or to supplement, subsurface and satellite measurements across Hawaiʻi and likely for other Pacific Island regions.

Ocean Currents Magnify Upwelling and Deliver Nutritional Subsidies to Reef-Building Corals During El Niño Heatwaves

Results reveal how large-scale ocean-climate interactions affect reef ecosystems thousands of kilometers away and provide a valuable framework for identifying reefs that may benefit from such biophysical linkages during future bleaching events.

How Climate Change and Climate Variability Affected Trip Distance of a Commercial Fishery

Results show the higher the SST of the Hawaii longline fleet, the longer trip distance; vs NSO events could result in shorter trip distance, possibly due to changes in catch rates of different tuna species through redistribution during weather events.
