“…high correlation with the decadal-scale stock fluctuations of dominant fish species, including the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) (Mantua et al, 1997;Chavez et al, 2003), North Pacific index in winter (NPI) (Trenberth and Hurrell, 1994;Yasunaka and Hanawa, 2002), North Pacific Gyre Oscillation index in winter (NPGO) (Di Lorenzo et al, 2008;Yatsu et al, 2021), and Arctic Oscillation index in winter (AO) (Thompson and Wallace, 1998;Ohshimo et al, 2009). Meanwhile, local oceanic environments, such as sea surface temperature (SST) in the Kuroshio Extension, have also been reported to influence the dynamics of stock fluctuations of commercial fish species (Noto and Yasuda, 1999).…”
