ABSTRACT 

 Capelin (Mallotus villosus) is an important forage 

species in the marine ecosystem. In the Bering Sea and Gulf 

of Alaska, capelin has been documented as an important prey 

of seabirds and marine mammals. However, a thorough study of 

the capelin as prey of marine fish has not yet been done. 

 This study reviews the consumption of capelin by 

marine fishes in the eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. 

Data from the years 1970 to 2001 in the eastern Bering Sea 

and data from 1981 to 2001 in the Gulf of Alaska are used to 

show annual geographic distributions of capelin in the 

stomach contents of different predators. These distributions 

suggest that capelin were a key diet item for groundfish in 

the inner domain area (< 50 m) of the eastern Bering Sea, 

and in the shelf area (< 100 m) of the Gulf of Alaska. 

Capelin, in the eastern Bering Sea, seem to prefer the 

colder areas where temperature was lower and the ice extent 

moved farther south. 

 The main fish predators of capelin included arrowtooth 

flounder (Atheresthes stomias), Pacific cod (Gadus 

macrocephalus), Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis), 

and walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma). Indices of 

capelin abundance (expressed as percentage of total stomach 

contents weight) by sub-region were estimated to show the 

relative abundance of capelin consumed each year by 

groundfish in both the eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. 

Capelin abundance ranged between 1.3% of Pacific cod stomach 

contents and 8.8% of arrowtooth flounder stomach contents in 

the eastern Bering Sea. In the Gulf of Alaska, capelin 

abundance ranged from 0.38% of Pacific cod stomach contents 

to 2.49% of Pacific halibut stomach contents.

 Estimates of the total amount of capelin consumed by 

the groundfish population during each summer feeding season 

of each year ranged from 21,168 metric tons (t) in 1999 and 

221,408 t in 1990 for the Gulf of Alaska. In the eastern 

Bering Sea, the estimate was between 19,155 t in 1994 and 

47,988 t in 1993.

INTRODUCTION 

 Capelin, Mallotus villosus, is distributed over much of 

the Arctic North Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Along the 

coasts of North America, capelin ranges from across northern 

Canada to Point Barrow, Alaska, and south along Alaska and 

British Columbia to the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington 

state (Macy et al. 1978). 

 Capelin (Mallotus villosus) is an important forage fish 

in Alaskan waters. It is the prey of many marine fish 

(Roseneau and Byrd 1996, Yang and Nelson 2000), sea-birds 

(Maniscalco and Ostrand 1997, Hayes and Kuletz 1997), and 

marine mammals (Hansen 1997, Merrick et al. 1997). 

 In 1990, the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) was 

listed as threatened, and in 1997 the western stock (west of 

144° W long.) of Steller sea lion in Alaska was listed as 

endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Several 

studies designed to examine the role of forage fish such as 

capelin in marine food webs have been initiated in recent 

years in response to the listing of the Steller sea lion as 

endangered 

 Our objective was to do a historical review of capelin 

in the diets of marine fish in the eastern Bering Sea and 

Gulf of Alaska. Small forage species such as capelin are 

difficult and expensive to monitor using traditional survey 

techniques. Groundfish can be considered as a sampler of 

these prey. Using diet data from the Resource Ecology and 

Ecosystem Modeling (REEM) program of the Alaska Fisheries 

Science Center (AFSC), we describe the geographic 

distribution of the capelin, derive an index of abundance of 

capelin using stomach contents data from marine fishes, and 

estimate the biomass of the capelin consumed by marine fish 

in the Gulf of Alaska and the eastern Bering Sea. 

 

METHODS 

Study Area 

 Our study area covers the Alaskan waters of the eastern 

Bering Sea shelf and the Gulf of Alaska (Fig. 1). The 

eastern Bering Sea strata were devised by the Resource 

Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division of 

the AFSC. In general, there are two subareas: the Northwest 

area and the Southeast area. Within each area, the strata 
2

boundaries were based on bottom depth. Strata 1 and 2 are 

considered the inner continental shelf (< 50 m), strata 3 

and 4 are the middle shelf (50-100 m), and strata 5 and 6 

are the outer shelf zones (101-200 m). The Gulf of Alaska 

was divided into three sub-areas: western (170°W-159°W), 

central (159°W-147°W), and eastern (147°W-130°W).

Data Analysis 

 Stomach contents data from marine fish from REEM 

program were used. Data from 1970 to 2001 in the eastern 

Bering Sea and from 1990 to 2001 in the Gulf of Alaska were 

used. 

 These data were used to explore the geographical 

distribution of capelin, derive an index of abundance, and 
3

estimate population level consumption of capelin by marine 

fishes. 

 In addition, we used the standard length of capelin 

consumed by marine fish from the database to plot the 

general age distribution of capelin in different years. 

Geographical Distribution of Capelin 

 Geographical distribution of capelin consumed by 

groundfish in the eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska was 

plotted to show locations where capelin were consumed by 

predators in every year. Predator categories included 

walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) , Pacific cod (Gadus 

macrocephalus), arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) , 

Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) , rockfish (shortspine thornyhead, Sebastolobus alascanus), sculpins (plain 

sculpin (Myoxocephalus jaok), great sculpin (Myoxocephalus 

polyacanthocephalus), butterfly sculpin (Hemilepidotus 

papilio)), other flatfish (flathead sole (Hippoglossoides 

elassodon), Bering flounder (Hippoglossoides robustus), 

Yellowfin sole (Pleuronectes asper), rock sole (Lepidopsetta

sp.)), and other fish (sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria, and 

unidentified skate). Only samples from May to September 

(the most vulnerable period for predation) were used in our 

analysis. This was to get a general idea of possible 

summertime capelin distribution. 

 To examine the relationship between ice cover, 

temperature, and the distribution of capelin, the last ice 

day after 15 March and the sea surface temperature (SST) at 

the 5° C isobar were also plotted (when data were available). 

 Maximum ice extent typically occurs between midFebruary and late March (Overland and Pease 1982). The 

maximum ice extent of the last ice day after 15 March was 

plotted for each year. The area south of the line was ice 

free after 15 March. 

 

 Sea-surface temperatures for spawning capelin in the 

eastern Bering Sea have been determined to be between 5°C 

and 9°C (Pahlke 1985). Therefore, the 5°C SST (in June) 

isobar was plotted to show the possible relationships 

between capelin distribution and water temperatures.

Calculating an Index of Abundance 

 The relative amounts of capelin consumed per predator 

by key groundfish species were analyzed every year in 

different strata. 

 After initial data explorations of various indices of 

capelin abundance in groundfish stomachs, such as gram of 

capelin consumed per gram of predator, gram of capelin 

consumed per predator, gram of capelin consumed per stomach, 

and the percentage (by weight) of capelin in the diet, the 

percentage of capelin in the diet provided to be the best 

index of abundance. 

 The indices of abundance were expressed as weighted mean 

percent weights (%wt) of capelin consumed by each predator. 

For each stratum, the mean percent weights of capelin 

consumed by each 10 cm size group were first calculated. 

The weighted mean percent weights were then obtained by the 

mean values and the sample sizes in each size group. For 

each size group, the mean percent weight of capelin consumed 

in each stratum was first calculated. The weighted mean 

percent weights were then obtained by weighing the mean 

strata values by the sample sizes in each stratum. 

 

 If all size groups or all strata have zero values or 

the values were too small (< 0.2% weighted mean %wt), the 

data were not plotted. The data plotted for size groups 

varied for different predators and by the available data. 

 

Gulf of Alaska--In the Gulf of Alaska, the key groundfish 

species included arrowtooth flounder, Pacific cod, Pacific 

halibut, and walleye pollock. The Gulf of Alaska was divided 

into three subareas: western (170° W–159° W), central (159°

W–147° W), and eastern (147° W–130° W). Within each sub-area, )

there were three strata: shelf, gully, and slope. The depth 

of the slope was deeper than 200 m. The shelf depth was 

usually less than 100 m and the depth of gully was usually 

between 100 and 200 m. However, the depths of shelf and 

gullies varied depending on the bathymetry in the Gulf of 

Alaska. 

Eastern Bering Sea--In the eastern Bering Sea, the key 

predatory groundfish species include arrowtooth flounder, 

walleye pollock, Pacific cod, and Pacific halibut. The 

eastern Bering Sea strata (Fig. 1) were devised by the 

Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) 
5

Division of the AFSC. In general, the strata boundaries 

were based on bottom depth. Strata 1 and 2 are considered 

the inner continental shelf (< 50 m), strata 3 and 4 are the 

middle shelf (50-100 m), and strata 5 and 6 are the outer 

shelf zones (101-200 m). 

Population Level Consumption of Capelin 

 The calculation of the population level consumption of 

capelin was based on the following formula 

 Ci = DRi x D x Bi x Pi, 

where Ci is the consumption (by weight) of capelin by size 

group i of a predator species, DRi is the daily ration (as a 

proportion of body weight per day) of predator size group i, 

D is the number of days in the sampling period (months 5-9) 

when the prey species was vulnerable to predation, Bi is the 

biomass of the predator size group i, and Pi is the 

proportion by weight of the capelin in the diet of predator 

size group i. 

 

 Daily ration (DR) estimates were derived using some 

basic bioenergetic considerations as an alternative to using 

rations estimated from gastric evacuation rate models and 

field-estimated stomach content weights. As Livingston et al. 

(1986) found, estimates derived from gastric evacuation rate 

models tend to be lower than expected based on known annual 

growth patterns of eastern Bering Sea groundfish species. 

Part of the problem with rations estimated in this fashion 

may be due to undetected regurgitation of stomach contents 

from field collections. In this study we assumed that more 

realistic rations can be derived using bioenergetic 

variables such as annual growth increments and food 

conversion efficiency estimates. Thus, daily growth in 

weight of each species size group was estimated from annual 

growth increments by length and length-weight relationships 

for each species. A gross conversion efficiency rate of food 

to somatic tissue for juvenile fish was assumed to be 25% 

and for adult fish was assumed to be 10% based on estimates 

presented by Brett and Groves (1979). Daily growth 

increments could thus be converted to the amount of food 

required to produce that growth. When the daily food 

requirements are divided by mean fish weight, the result is 

a daily ration expressed as a fraction of body weight. Daily 

rations of different size groups of each species are listed 
6

with the population level consumption of capelin (see 

Results). 

 The time period of analysis (D) for total consumption 

estimates by all predator species was May through September, 

or 153 days. The analysis was restricted to this time 

period because most stomach samples were collected during 

this period and survey estimates of groundfish biomass were 

also obtained at this time. Unquantified migrations of fish 

into different strata occur and insufficient numbers of 

stomach samples were taken in each stratum outside of this 

time period. Thus, total consumption estimates made outside 

of this time period would not be reliable. Since May through 

September probably represent most of the main feeding and 

growth period for groundfish, these total consumption 

estimates can be considered conservative estimates of total 

annual predation removals by these groundfish populations. 

RESULTS 

Geographic Distribution of Capelin 

 The historical geographic distributions of capelin 

consumed by groundfish in the eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of 

Alaska are shown in Figures 2 to 33. 

 

 In the 1970s, only stomach content data from Japanese 

studies were available for the eastern Bering Sea. Pacific 

cod, walleye pollock, Pacific halibut, and plain sculpin 

were found preying on capelin. Capelin were consumed very 

sparsely in the eastern Bering sea throughout the 1970s 

(Figs. 2-11) except in 1975. In 1975, plain sculpin was the 

most common predator of capelin, in terms of the frequency 

of occurrence of capelin in groundfish species. No stomach 

content data were available in the Gulf of Alaska for the 

1970s. 

 

 Starting in 1984, stomachs were collected annually in 

the eastern Bering Sea during the AFSC, RACE Division’s 

summer trawl surveys and by fishery observers on board the 

commercial fishing vessels. During the 1980s, capelin were 

found in the stomachs of the following species: Pacific cod, 

arrowtooth flounder, walleye pollock, plain sculpin, great

 Beginning in 1990, stomach samples were also collected 

in the Gulf of Alaska every 3 years during the RACE summer 

trawl surveys (Figs. 22-31). During this period, capelin 

was found frequently in stomach samples. The occurrence of 

capelin in the stomachs decreased dramatically for GOA in 

1999 (Fig. 31). Capelin was also found in the eastern 

Bering Sea area during the 1990s, especially in 1993 when 

higher survey catches of capelin were found (Walters 2003). 

Capelin was also found in the walleye pollock diet in 2000 

in the Gulf of Alaska, based on samples collected in the 

Kodiak area from a RACE small-scale midwater trawl acoustic 

survey (Fig. 32). In the Gulf of Alaska, starting in 2001, 

stomachs were collected every other year during RACE summer 

bottom trawl surveys (Fig. 33). More capelin was observed 

in 2001 in Gulf of Alaska stomach samples than in 1999. 

Index of Abundance: Weighted Mean Percent Weight (%wt) 

Gulf of Alaska

 In the Gulf of Alaska, regular stomach collections 

started in 1990 and were performed every 3 years before 1999 

and every other year after 1999. 

Arrowtooth flounder--When all predator size groups are 

combined, capelin comprised 31% (by weight) of the 

arrowtooth flounder diet in the Central-gully area in 1990 

(Fig. 34). In the Central-shelf area, the greatest 

percentage (24%) of capelin consumed by arrowtooth flounder 

also occurred in 1990. In the West-gully stratum, the 

greater percentage (23%) of capelin consumed by arrowtooth 

flounder happened in 1993. In the East-shelf and West-shelf 

strata, capelin comprised no more than 10% of the diet of 

arrowtooth flounder in every year. 

 

 The overall index of abundance of capelin was 8.80%wt 

(weighted) of arrowtooth flounder diet with a range between 

2.86% and 24.89% wt and a standard deviation of 8.68% (Table 

1). 

 Overall, capelin comprised 44% of the diet of 

arrowtooth flounder 20-29 cm long in 1990. The diet of 10-

19 cm arrowtooth flounder consisted of 28% of capelin in 

1993. In 1990, the diet of 40-49 cm size group arrowtooth 

flounder consisted of 29% capelin. The greatest proportions 

of capelin consumed by the 30-39 and 50-59 cm size groups 

(20% and 16%, respectively) were also found in 1990.

Pacific cod--Capelin made up a lower proportion of the 

stomach content weight of cod compared with arrowtooth 

flounder in the Gulf of Alaska area. Figure 35 shows that 

the greatest percentage (7%) of capelin found in Pacific cod 

stomach contents was in the West-gully strata in 1993. The 

second greatest amount (about 3-4%) was found in the Eastshelf and Central-shelf strata in 1990. The diet of Pacific 

cod in the Central-gully and West-shelf strata contained 

less than 1% of capelin in their diet. 

 The overall index of abundance of capelin based on 

Pacific cod diet composition was 1.27% (weighted mean) with 

a range between 0.10% and 2.19%, and a standard deviation of 

0.91% (Table 1). 

 Comparing the capelin consumed by different size groups, 

we found that the greatest amount of capelin consumed by 

Pacific cod was found in the 20-29 cm size group of fish in 

1993 (23%wt); followed by 30-39 cm size group of fish in 

1990 (18%wt). Pacific cod 40-49 cm size group had 8%wt of 

capelin in their diet in 2001. All other size groups of 

Pacific cod had less than 5% capelin in their diets, 

respectively.

Pacific halibut--The indices of abundance of capelin, 

expressed as the mean percent weight (%wt) in the diet of 

Pacific halibut, are shown in Figure 36. The greatest 

amount (23%) of capelin consumed was found in the East-shelf 

stratum in 1993; followed by 12% in Central-gully stratum in 

2001. Capelin comprised less than 7% of Pacific halibut 

diets in each of the other strata in this study, 

respectively.

 The overall index of abundance of capelin from Pacific 

halibut stomach contents was 3.70% (weighted mean) with a 

range between 3.34% and 4.17%, and a standard deviation of 

0.33% (Table 1). 

 When calculating the indices of abundance of capelin 

consumed by different size groups of Pacific halibut, we 

found that the greatest amount of capelin consumed was found 

in 30-39 cm halibut in 1996 (19%); followed by the size 

group 60-69 cm in 1999 (17%). The greatest amount of 

capelin consumed by 50-59 cm and 70-79 cm halibut were found 

in 1996 (12%) and 2001 (12%), respectively. Capelin 

comprised less than 5% in the diets of other size groups of 

halibut. 

Walleye pollock--Figure 37 shows the percent weight of 

capelin in the diets of walleye pollock in different strata 

in the Gulf of Alaska. The greatest amount of capelin 

consumed by walleye pollock was found in 1999 (25%) in the 

West-gully stratum; followed by the Central-gully stratum in 

1999 (9%). Capelin comprised less than 7% of the diets of 

walleye pollock in all other strata in this study.

 The overall index of abundance of capelin from walleye 

pollock diet was 3.22% with a range between 0.25% and 5.95%, 

and a standard deviation of 2.4% (Table 1). 

 The indices of abundance of capelin from different size 

groups of walleye pollock were calculated. The greatest 

amount of capelin consumed was found in the 30-39 cm size 

group in 1990 (52%). The second greatest amount of capelin 

consumed was found in the diet of walleye pollock 60-69 cm 

long (15%) in 1990. Capelin comprised less than 10% of the 

diets of all other size groups of walleye pollock in this 

study. 

Yearly trend in the Gulf of Alaska--Figure 38 shows the 

yearly trend of capelin found in the diets of marine fishes 

in the Gulf of Alaska. Capelin comprised the greatest 

percentage of the diet of arrowtooth flounder--usually more 

than 5% of the total stomach contents weight, whereas 

capelin comprised usually less than 5% of the diets of 

Pacific cod, Pacific halibut, and walleye pollock, 

respectively.

 In 1990, a very high percentage of capelin (up to 43% 

in the 40-49 cm size group in Central-gully stratum) was 

found in arrowtooth flounder diets in the Central-gully and 

Central-shelf strata, which resulted in the very high 
44

percentage (25%) of capelin in the diet of arrowtooth 

flounder that year. In 1996, no capelin was found in 

walleye pollock stomachs. There is some possibility that 

this might be due to errors in prey identification that year.

Eastern Bering Sea 

 

 Regular stomach collections were performed annually 

starting in 1984 in the eastern Bering Sea. In the Gulf of 

Alaska, regular stomach collections started in 1990 and were 

performed every 3 years before 1999 and every other year 

after 1999. Therefore, more time series data were collected 

in the eastern Bering Sea than in the Gulf of Alaska. 

Arrowtooth flounder--Figure 39 shows that capelin comprised 

24% of the diet of arrowtooth flounder collected in stratum 

1, eastern Bering Sea, in 2001. It was the greatest amount 
45

of capelin consumed by arrowtooth flounder in the eastern 

Bering Sea in this study; followed by 1997 and 1993 in 

stratum 3, with capelin comprising about 9% and 6%, 

respectively. Capelin comprised less than 5% in arrowtooth 

flounder diets in all other strata. 

 The overall index of abundance of capelin from 

arrowtooth flounder diets was 0.96% with a range between 

0.06% and 2.01%, and a standard deviation of 0.79% (Table 2). 

 The indices of abundance of capelin from different size 

groups of arrowtooth flounder were calculated. The greatest 

amount of capelin consumed was found in the 20-29 cm size 

group in 2001 (8%); followed by the 30-39 cm size group in 

1994 (7%), 40-49 cm size group in 1985 (5%), and 60-69 cm 

size group in 2001 (5%). Capelin comprised less than 4% in 

the diets of all other size groups of arrowtooth flounder in 

the eastern Bering Sea.

1993. The second greatest amount (7%) was found in stratum 

2 in 1986. Capelin comprised less than 3% in Pacific cod 

diets in all other strata, respectively. 

 

 The overall index of abundance of capelin from Pacific 

cod diets was 0.38% with a range between 0.01% and 1.68% 

with a standard deviation of 0.43% (Table 2).

greatest amount (25%) of capelin consumed was found in 

stratum 2 in 1993, followed by 21% in stratum 2 in 1999, and 

20% in stratum 1 in 1999. Capelin comprised 15% and 8% of 

the diets of Pacific halibut collected in stratum 1 in 1993 

and 1992, respectively. Capelin was found in less than 6% of 

Pacific halibut diets in each of the other strata in this 

study. 

 The overall index of abundance of capelin from Pacific 

halibut diets was 2.49% (weighted mean) with a range between 

0.03% and 7.33%, and a standard deviation of 2.88% (Table 2). 

 The indices of abundance of capelin consumed by 

different size groups were calculated. The greatest amount 

of capelin consumed by Pacific halibut was found in the 30-

1993 (8%) in stratum 2; followed by the amount found in 

stratum 1 in 2001 (7%), and in stratum 2 in 1999 (6%). 

Capelin was comprised less than 4% of the diets of walleye 

pollock in all other strata in this study. 

 The overall index of abundance of capelin from walleye

Population Consumption of Capelin by Marine Fish 

 In this section, the population consumption of capelin 

are described by area and species. Within each species, the 

consumption by size group and strata are discussed. The 

estimated biomass of capelin consumed by each 10 cm size 

group, each species, each stratum, in each year are listed 

in Appendix 1 for the Gulf of Alaska and Appendix 2 for the 

eastern Bering Sea. Daily rations, number of hauls, number 

of stomachs, mean percent weight of capelin in the diets, 

and biomass of predators are also listed in these appendices. 

Gulf of Alaska 

 

Arrowtooth flounder--Figure 44 shows that arrowtooth 

flounder consumed about 160,000 t of capelin in 1990, the 

largest amount consumed by arrowtooth flounder from 1990 to 

2001. During this period, capelin were mainly consumed by 

arrowtooth flounder 40-59 cm except in 1999, in which the 

smallest size group (< 40 cm) consumed more capelin than the 

larger arrowtooth flounder.

 Figure 45 shows capelin consumed by arrowtooth flounder 

in different strata. Central-shelf stratum comprised the 

greatest amount of capelin consumed in all years except in 

1999. The Central-gully stratum was the area that 

arrowtooth flounder consumed the second greatest quantity of 

capelin for almost every year (except 1999). Arrowtooth 

flounder consumed less capelin in the West-shelf, East-shelf, 

and West-gully strata.

Pacific cod--Figure 46 shows that Pacific cod consumed less 

than 5,000 t of capelin in each of the 4 years from 1990 to 

2001, respectively. In 1990, Pacific cod 30-59 cm consumed 

more than 4,500 t of capelin, whereas in 1993 and 1996, it 

was the > 60 cm size group that consumed the largest amount 

(about 600 and 400 t, respectively) of capelin. Again, in 

2001, the 30-59 cm size group was the dominant group that 

consumed the largest amount of capelin. 

 Figure 47 shows that Pacific cod in the Central-shelf 

stratum consumed the largest amount of capelin in every year 

except in 1996. Central-gully was the stratum where Pacific 

cod consumed the second greatest amount of capelin in the 

Gulf of Alaska. In the West-shelf, West-gully, and Eastshelf strata, Pacific cod consumed relatively small amounts 

of capelin in every year.

Pacific halibut--In comparison to arrowtooth flounder and 

Pacific cod, Pacific halibut consumed less capelin in the 

Gulf of Alaska. About 3,500 t of capelin was consumed by 

Pacific halibut in 1996 and 1999, respectively (Fig. 48). 

Figure 48 also shows that the 50-69 cm size group of Pacific 
53

halibut dominated the predation of capelin in every year 

except in 2001, in which the dominant size group was the 

> 69 cm size group.

The rate of consumption of capelin by Pacific halibut in 

different strata were similar to the consumption rates of 

other predator species. Capelin were consumed mainly in the 

Central-shelf stratum in most years (Fig. 49). Only in 1993, 

the West-shelf and East-shelf were the strata that comprised 

the greatest amounts of capelin consumption by Pacific 

halibut.

Walleye pollock--Walleye pollock consumed about 60,000 t of 

capelin in 1990 (Fig. 50). The dominant group of walleye 

pollock that consumed capelin was the > 50 cm size group. It 

comprised about 60% of the total capelin consumed in 1990. 

The consumption of capelin by pollock has decreased 

considerably since 1993. In 2001, less than 300 t of 

capelin were consumed by walleye pollock in the Gulf of 

Alaska area. 

 Like other predators, the main areas where capelin were 

consumed by walleye pollock were the Central-shelf and 

Central-gully strata in 1990, whereas in 1993, capelin 

consumed in the West-shelf stratum comprised more than 55% 

of the total capelin consumption in that year (Fig. 51).

Yearly trend in the Gulf of Alaska--Figure 52 shows the 

yearly trend of consumption of capelin by marine fishes in 

the Gulf of Alaska. It shows the trends were similar to the 

yearly trend of the percent weight of capelin in the diet of 

marine fishes (Fig. 38). Arrowtooth flounder consumed the 

greatest amount (about 160,000 t) of capelin in 1990, 
56

decreased dramatically in 1993 (40,000 t), increased a 

little in 1996, and then decreased to the lowest level in 

1999 (a little over 10,000 t). Walleye pollock was the next 

important consumer of capelin in the Gulf of Alaska. They 

consumed about 60,000 t of capelin in 1990 and then 

gradually decreased during the next 10 years. In 2001, the 

amount of capelin consumed by walleye pollock was only 320 t. 

Both Pacific cod and Pacific halibut consumed relatively 

less amounts (< 5,000 t) of capelin in all years in the Gulf 

of Alaska.

Pacific cod--The greatest consumption of capelin by Pacific 

cod (about 12,000 t) in the eastern Bering Sea was found in 

1993 (Fig. 55), followed by 2,800 t in 1994. In 1984, 1985, 

1992, 1995, and 2001, Pacific cod also consumed about 
58

1,500t of capelin each year. Figure 60 shows that the size 

groups 30-59 cm and > 60 cm Pacific cod dominated the 

consumption of capelin in the eastern Bering Sea. 

 Capelin occurred in the stomachs of Pacific cod in five 

out of six strata in the eastern Bering Sea. Strata 1 

(EBS01) predominated most of the years from 1984 to 2001 

(Fig. 56).

Pacific halibut--Pacific halibut consumed small amounts of 

capelin in the eastern Bering Sea. The greatest consumption 

was found in 1993 (about 4,000 t), followed by about 500 t 

in 1992 and 1999, respectively (Fig. 57). The dominant size 

group of Pacific halibut that prey on capelin was between 50 

and 69 cm long. Few were consumed by Pacific halibut less 

than 30 cm long; only < 0.1 t was found in 1998.

Walleye pollock--Figure 59 shows that capelin were consumed 

by walleye pollock in different years. The greatest 

consumption (46,000 t) was found in 1986. The second 

greatest amount of capelin consumed (27,000 t) was in 1993. 

Figure 59 also shows that 50-59 cm and 60-69 cm size groups 

were the dominant groups that preyed upon capelin in the 

eastern Bering Sea. The smallest size group (< 50 cm) of 

walleye pollock consumed no more than 400 t of capelin in a 

single year.

 In 1986, 1991, and 1995 capelin were consumed by 

walleye pollock mainly in strata 3 and 4 (EBS03 and EBS04). 

In other years, capelin was found mainly in the stomachs of 

walleye pollock in strata 1 and 2 (EBS01 and EBS02) (Fig.

Yearly trend in the eastern Bering Sea--Figure 61 shows the 

yearly trend of capelin consumption by marine fishes in the 

eastern Bering Sea. Walleye pollock consumed the greatest 

amount (46,000 t) of capelin in 1986, the amount decreased 

dramatically in 1987 and 1988, and gradually increased to 

another peak in 1993 (27,000 t). Even though the percentage 

by weight of capelin consumed by walleye pollock was usually 

not as high as Pacific halibut (Fig. 43), the total amount 

(tonnage) of capelin consumed by walleye pollock was high 

because of the high biomass of walleye pollock in the 

eastern Bering Sea area. Pacific cod and arrowtooth 

flounder consumed their greatest amount (about 10,000 t) of 

capelin in 1993 and 1994, respectively. However, in other 

years, they did not consume large amounts of capelin in the 

eastern Bering Sea. Capelin consumed by Pacific halibut was 

no more than 2,500 t in any single year in the eastern 

Bering Sea.

Age-length Distribution of Capelin 

 The length of capelin by age varies greatly by area and 

by year (Pahlke, 1985; Brown, 2002; Naumenko, 2002). Based 

on Naumenko’s (2002) study, we categorized the age groups as 

age 0 (< 70mm), age 1 (71-110 mm), age 2 (111-130 mm), and 

age 3+ (> 130mm) groups. 

Eastern Bering Sea 

 Age-2 capelin were found in high frequencies in fish 

stomachs collected in 1986 in the eastern Bering Sea (Fig. 

62). Compared to 1986, fewer capelin occurred in stomachs 

collected in 1987: five age-2 fish, four age-3 and older 

fish, and one age-1 fish. The greatest numbers of capelin 

(including age-3 and older) were found in stomachs collected 

in 1993 in which age-2 was the dominant age group consumed 

by fish. From 1999 to 2001, high numbers of capelin were 

found in fish stomachs. In 1999 and 2001, age-2 capelin 

occurred most frequently, whereas in 2000, age-0 was the 

dominant capelin consumed (Fig. 62). 

Gulf of Alaska 

 Capelin occurred frequently in the stomach contents of 

marine fish in 1990, 1993, and 1996. Age-1 capelin was the 

dominant group consumed in those 3 years. The greatest 
63

number of capelin was found in stomachs collected in 2001, 

in which age-2 capelin was the dominant group consumed in 

that year (Fig. 63). 

DISCUSSION 

 Two main factors (biological and physical) affect the 

consumption of capelin by marine fishes. Biological factors 

include the availability of capelin as prey, predator prey 

preferences, rations, and the abundance of the predators. 

Physical factors include the water temperature, ice cover 

(in Bering Sea), water column stratification, depths, and 

others (e.g., sunlight effect). We will discuss some of 

these effects. 

The Availability of Capelin as Prey 

 Capelin are demersal spawners. In Alaska, they spawn 

mainly along beaches. Pahlke’s (1985) study of capelin in 

Alaska waters noted that spawning begins in late May along 

the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak area, and in Togiak Bay and 

continues northward until late July, early August spawning 

at Point Barrow. He also noted that the trend for capelin 

to spawn later in more northern waters is associated with 

the breakup of the icepack and the warming of nearshore 

waters with temperatures between 5°C and 9°C. This may aid 

in understanding the distribution of capelin in different 

areas in specific times. 

Gulf of Alaska 

 Capelin are captured incidentally in RACE bottom 

surveys. However, this survey is not designed to assess 

forage species and may only provide an index of abundance. 

The 2004 SAFE (Stock Assessment and Fishery Evaluation) 

report showed the CPUE of capelin reached a peak in 1996 in 

both the Central GOA and Western GOA (Brown, 2003). However, 

in the present study, neither the percentage of capelin in 

the diet of marine fishes (Fig. 42) nor the total 

consumption of capelin by marine fishes (Fig. 60) in 1996 

showed the same peak of abundance. 

 Anderson and Piatt (1999) studied the climate and 

biological regime shift in the Gulf of Alaska and noted that 

the biomass of capelin (and other forage species such as 

pandalid shrimps) declined during the warmer years (between 

1978 and 1997) while the abundance of predators such as

Pacific cod, walleye pollock, and flatfish increased. 

Hollowed et al. (in preparation) studied on the effect of 

ocean conditions on the distribution of walleye pollock and 

capelin and suggested that spatial distributions of capelin 

appear to be associated with the presence of cool slope 

waters over the shelf. They further suggested that this 

preference for cool water by capelin might explain the rapid 

disappearance of capelin in nearshore shrimp trawl surveys 

after the climate regime shifted to warmer coastal 

conditions. 

 Seasonal variations in larval abundance of capelin are 

significant in the Gulf of Alaska. In Kodiak bays, there is 

a summer peak (June-August). On the continental shelf, 

there is an autumn peak (September-November). Larvae are 

seen in low numbers in winter. Spring (March-May) has 

minimum numbers. This seasonal variation indicates a summerautumn spawning season for capelin in the Kodiak area (Doyle 

et al. 2002). The abundance of capelin larvae in the Gulf 

of Alaska coincides with the summer peak in production of 

copepod nauplii (Cooney 1986). Doyle et al. (2002) suggest 

that capelin larvae migrate into the neuston (surface layer) 

at night to feed. Spawning mortality is high in the Kodiak 

area particularly in males. Female surviving the spawning 

period is generally accepted but survival to the next 

spawning season is believed to be negligible. 

 

 In Prince William Sound and the northern Gulf of Alaska, 

Brown (2002) found that the abundance of larval capelin in 

offshore areas (> 1 km) peaked in July, then declined. 

Larvae appeared to move inshore (< 1 km) because inshore 

abundance increased from July to October. Nursery areas are 

inshore since age 0 and 1 fish dominated the catches, and 

they were caught mostly within 400 m of the shore at bottom 

depths less than 100 m. Off-shore larval densities were 

greatest adjacent to the Gulf of Alaska and in southeastern 

Prince William Sound. Inshore larval densities were 

greatest in southeastern Prince William Sound. From aerial 

surveys, Brown (2002) found that schools of adult capelin 

were most abundant in outer beaches of the fjords closest to 

the Gulf of Alaska. They were never observed inside 

protected bays, seeming to prefer more exposed shorelines. 

The capelin made inshore migrations during their larval 

stage from offshore areas before metamorphosis. The nursery 

areas are in the inshore area. Immature capelin may 

overwinter in this area too. When they mature, they tend to 

move to offshore areas to spawn. 
68

 These findings may help us to understand the timing of 

where we would expect to find adult and juvenile capelin in 

offshore waters. 

Eastern Bering Sea 

 Capelin, like other forage species, is captured 

incidentally in RACE bottom trawl surveys. The capelin 

survey catches in the eastern Bering Sea have been stable 

except in 1993 when catch biomass was very high (Walters, 

2003). Our index of abundance data (Fig. 43) also showed 

high percentages of capelin in the diets of Pacific halibut, 

Pacific cod, arrowtooth flounder, and walleye pollock in 

1993. The capelin survey catch in 1986 was the second 

greatest from 1982 to 2001. The relatively high percentage 

of capelin in the diet of walleye pollock in 1986 (Fig. 43) 

seemed to match the catch biomass of capelin from the RACE 

survey. 

 Naumenko (2002) indicates that, at the end of May, in 

the western part of the Bering Sea, capelin move inshore and 

concentrate in areas with bottom depths of 50-90 m to spawn. 

The spawning temperature is between 4-9°C sea surface 

temperature (SST). After spawning, the fish move away from 

shore. The non-spawning capelin stay offshore in bays. In 

late fall and early winter (November and December), capelin 

concentrate around St. Matthew Island and the Pribilof 

Islands at depths 60-100 m where the bottom temperature is -

1.8° to 2.0°C. Capelin in the Pribilof Islands area had the 

fastest maturation rate. In the eastern part of Bering Sea, 

capelin fed on the broad shelf and moved 300 miles away 

offshore while in the western part, they stayed within 

embayments because of the narrowness of the shelf. 

Predator Abundance 

 Predator biomass can have big effects on the total 

consumption of capelin. Detailed biomass information of 

each predator in different regions and in the time series is 

listed in Appendix 1 (Gulf of Alaska) and in Appendix 2 

(eastern Bering Sea). The fluctuations or the trends of 

different predator biomass show that arrowtooth flounder 

total biomass, in the eastern Bering Sea, increased more 

than 2.5 times from 1976 to the 1996 value of 759,400 t 

(Wilderbuer and Sample 2004). Other groundfish population 
69

levels over different time periods also show different 

biomass fluctuations. 

Maximum Ice Extent 

 

 Sea ice in the Bering Sea is an indicator of climate 

change and its effects on the marine ecosystem (McNutt 2004). 

Sea ice begins forming in the northern Bering Sea as late as 

November, as the ocean reaches a temperature of -1.7°C, the 

freezing point for salt water in this area, and ice may 

remain to June of the following year. Most of the sea ice 

forms in the northern portions of the shelf and is then 

blown southward due to the north-northeasterly winds. When 

the sea ice melts at the edge in the spring, the fresh water 

and nutrients in the ice are released onto the surface of 

the ocean on the Bering shelf. 

 Rodionov et al. (2003) studied ice cover and 

temperature in the eastern Bering Sea. They noted that, 

typically, the heavier the ice cover in a given winter, the 

later it retreats in the spring. Sea ice plays an important 

role in determining the timing of the spring phytoplankton 

bloom. If there is ice after mid-March, there is an 

associated ice-edge phytoplankton bloom (bloom starts when 

ice starts melt). If there is no ice after mid-March, the 

spring phytoplankton bloom occurs later in May or June when 

sunlight increases and water column becomes thermally 

stratified. The timing of the spring bloom is critical to 

supplying food to zooplankton. A phytoplankton bloom during 

March or April when the water is cold favors the benthic 

community since zooplanktons are temperature-limited and 

unable to fully consume the bloom. Alternately, a bloom in 

May is cropped by zooplankton ultimately favoring pelagic 

production. They hypothesize that warmer temperatures over 

the shelf would result in northward shift of the shelf 

ecosystem. Because most of the variability on the Bering 

Sea is inter-annual, it is difficult to pick out trends in 

climate patterns. 

 From our study (Figs. 2 to 33), we found that capelin 

were consumed mainly in the north of the maximum ice extent 

line. In 1986 (a cold year), the maximum ice extent reached 

to St. George Island (south of St. Paul Island), and more 

capelin were found in strata 3 and 4. In 1987 (warmer year), 

the maximum ice extent line was farther north than in 1986, 

therefore less capelin were consumed than in 1986 and only 

occurred in strata 1 and 2 (east and northeast of strata 3 
70

and 4). Similar patterns occurred in 1998 (warmer year), 

when the maximum ice extent line was farther north, and 

capelin were consumed mainly in strata 1 and 2. In 1999 

(cold year), ice reached St. Paul Island and more capelin 

were found in strata 3 and 4. These figures show the 

possible relationships between sea ice cover and the 

distribution of capelin. 

 In the Gulf of Alaska, the Alaska Current keeps the 

Gulf of Alaska ice-free and the average winter water 

temperature is several degrees warmer than the Bering Sea. 

Capelin stay in the bays of Kodiak Island in winter (Pahlke 

1985). 

Temperature Effect 

 Many studies have shown a relationship between water 

temperatures and capelin distributions. Brodeur et al. 

(1999) found that capelin in the eastern Bering Sea were 

associated with colder bottom temperatures (< 2°C). 

Naumenko (2002) noted that spawning temperature for capelin 

in the western Bering Sea was between 4°C and 9°C SST. 

Pahlke (1985) found that capelin were concentrated in the 

surface layer above the 5°C isotherm. 

 

 Figures 14 to 33 show the 5°C isobars in June in the 

eastern Bering Sea. There seems to be no relationship 

between the 5°C isobar and capelin distribution. However, 

the 5°C isobar and capelin distribution changes when the 

maximum ice extent changes. For example, in 1998, the 

capelin distribution seemed to match the 5°C isobar and the 

maximum ice extent. In 1999, when maximum ice extent moved 

farther south-west, the 5°C isobar and the capelin 

distribution also moved southwestward. 

 

 Brodeur et al. (1999) found that capelin were 

associated with colder bottom temperatures in the Bering Sea. 

Distributions of all species from the NMFS surveys during a 

cold year (1986) were more widespread and overlap among 

species was greater than during a warm year (1987). They 

suggested that the apparent decline in fish populations 

during the warm year of 1987 might actually be a shift in 

the distribution to the region north of that sampled during 

the annual surveys (e.g., near St. Lawrence Island and in 

the Gulf of Anadyr), whereas high biomasses of capelin were 

found in the 1987 Russian surveys. 

 
71

 Studying the temperatures in the Gulf of Alaska, Martin 

(2003) noted that the coolest years at depths between 51 and 

150 m were in 1990 and 1999. From our study, we found that 

1990 was the year that capelin comprised the greatest 

percentage of the diets of arrowtooth flounder, Pacific cod, 

and walleye pollock in all the years studied (Fig. 38). 

These results seem to match the reports that capelin prefer 

cooler temperatures and their distribution is more 

widespread during cooler years (Brodeur 1999, Hollowed in 

preparation). 

Depth Effect 

 In addition to the effects of ice cover and temperature, 

depth seems also to affect the distribution of capelin. 

Figures 16 to 33 show that capelin occur mainly in the 

shallower inner-shelf area (< 50 m) in the eastern Bering 

Sea. Brodeur et al. (1999) also found that capelin were 

distributed in shallower areas in the eastern Bering Sea. 

 In our study, the depth range of capelin consumed by 

predators in the Gulf of Alaska area was between 24 and 294 

m with a mean of 125.93 m + 50.6 m. No capelin were found 

in fish stomachs collected deeper than 300 m in the Gulf of 

Alaska. The average depth of the hauls that capelin were 

consumed were 153.6 m for arrowtooth flounder, 111.7 m for 

Pacific cod, and 174.1 m for walleye pollock. 

 Methven and Piatt (1991) did a study on the seasonal 

abundance and vertical distribution of capelin in 

Newfoundland. They found most capelin at depths less than 

50 m, generally above the cold (0°C) water layer in the Gulf 

of St. Lawrence and off Newfoundland. From hydro-acoustic 

surveys, they found that the vast majority of capelin were 

recorded near the surface (< 20-30 m). Feeding areas and 

spawning sites for Barents Sea capelin varies as a result of 

differences in annual temperatures. Many capelin might 

remain offshore rather than migrating inshore. 

Sunlight Effect

 Naumenko (2002) studied the spawning migration of 

capelin from the Okhotsk Sea to the coast of west Kamchatka 

and indicated that migration was related to changes in 

sunlight activity. When sunlight decreased, spawning began 

in late May; when sunlight activity increased, capelin 

approached spawning grounds in June, a couple weeks later. 
72

 Using an acoustic survey, Wilson et al. (2003) found 

that capelin dispersed from aggregated daytime layers and 

rose in the water column during darkness. This means that 

if predators tend to be at the bottom during the day and 

move up in the water column at night, they will have a 

greater chance to prey upon capelin. 

Population Level Consumption of Capelin 

 The total estimate of the capelin consumed by sampled 

groundfish in Gulf of Alaska was between 22,000 (in 1999) 

and 222,000 t (in 1990). The amounts consumed by groundfish 

in the eastern Bering Sea was between 30 t (in 1988) and 

47,000 t (in 1986). The large variations between different 

years are caused by variations in predator biomass, the 

capelin biomass, the availability of capelin during stomach 

collections, and many of the physical factors mentioned 

earlier. Among which, predator biomass appears to be the 

most important factor for the variations. 

 Bogstad and Gjosater (1994) estimated the consumption 

of capelin by Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) in the Barents 

Sea. They estimated the amount of capelin consumed by 

Atlantic cod in the winter of 1991-93 was between 500,000 

and 800,000 t. The method they used was based on stomach 

content data, a model for stomach evacuation rate, and 

various assumptions about temperature, stock size, age 

distribution of cod, initial stock size estimate of maturing 

capelin, and overlap between cod and capelin in space and 

time. In a later study, Bogstad and Gjosater (2001) 

indicated that their assessment method overestimated the 

consumption of mature capelin by cod. In our study, the 

greatest amount of capelin consumed by Pacific cod was 

5,000 t in Gulf of Alaska and 12,000 t in the eastern Bering 

Sea. 

Future Studies 

 This report was an initial exploration of the possible 

mechanisms influencing groundfish consumption of capelin and 

using groundfish as possible indicators of capelin abundance. 

Capelin distribution and consumption is associated with 

sunlight, ice cover, temperature, and the abundance of 

predators. These factors may interact with each other. 
73

 Future studies could include a long-term survey 

specifically for forage species in both the Gulf of Alaska 

and the eastern Bering Sea. Brown et al. (2002), using 

Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) and video technology, 

did a remote sensing study for capelin. They noted that the 

advantage of this airborne remote sensing for fisheries 

research is its ability to collect physical and biological 

data over large regions quickly. However, the disadvantage 

of this survey is that it is restricted to the near surface 

only (the upper 50 m). Acoustic surveys may be the best way 

to study capelin distribution below 50 m. Small-scale 

studies that evaluate capelin distribution relative to 

zooplankton prey and groundfish predators using acoustic, 

trawl, and zooplankton sampling gear may aid in 

understanding the finer-scale distribution and overlap 

patterns of capelin and their predators and prey relative to 

physical factors.
