According to the data of accounting trawl surveys conducted by TINRO in the period from the 1980s to 2018, changes in the spatial and bathymetric distribution of black halibut on the continental slope of the Sea of Okhotsk over the past decades have been considered. The sea ice cover had decreased in this period that caused a weakening of the slope convection, whereas this process ventilated the intermediate layer, so a deoxygenation occurred at the depths below 300-400 m where the halibut dwell
