Nematoda parasites of five greenling species from the Far-Eastern Seas ( Pleurogrammus azonus , P . monopterygius , Hexagrammos octogrammus , H . lagocephalus , H . stelleri ) are investigated. The family Hexagrammidae is endemic for the North Pacific. In total, 10 species of nematodes are found: Anisakis simplex l., Pseudoterranova decipiens l., Hysterothylacium aduncum , Contracaecum osculatum l., Ascarophis filiformis , A. curvicauda , A. pacifica , Cucullanellus minutus , Cucullanus heterochrous , and Paracapillaria helenae , all of them have wide geographical and hosts distribution. Anisakis simplex l. and Pseudoterranova decipiens l. are the most common for all investigated host species. The highest species diversity of nematodes (7 species) is registered for arabesque greenling P. azonus , particularly its females; Contracaecum osculatum l. and Cucullanus heterochrous are found for the first time for this host in the Japan Sea. The parasites are dispersed irregularly in muscles of all parts of fish body. Large-sized (i.e. elder) fish is higher infected by larvae of P. decipiens .

Comparative analysis is made for absolute, species-specific and total fecundity of 31 flatfish species in the North Pacific from North America to the Japan Sea. Normally the individuals of larger size have higher fecundity. Similarity between the species by fecundity dynamics in dependence on body length and age is evaluated. Significance of the absolute fecundity for abundance or distribution of the species is discussed. Generally, the species with medium or high fecundity are more abundant than those with low number of eggs. The widest distribution is intrinsic for flatfish species with medium length of the early pelagic stage of their life.

Cyclonic activity in the Asia-Pacific region is largely determined by state of the seasonal centers of atmosphere action. In turn, cyclones themselves influence on conditions in certain «key» areas. Recently the Aleutian Low activity declines in fall-winter and this center is shifted westward, but activity of the Hawaiian High increases in warm season. As the result, heightened air pressure prevails over the Ocean (positive anomalies of the sea level pressure) and lowered pressure (negative anomalies) — over the Far Eastern Seas. In this anomalous situation, the number of cyclones over the Ocean has increased but they become weaker that causes SST increasing in the North Pacific both in winter and summer. Over the Bering Sea, the cyclones become weaker, as well, but this regime causes the ice cover increasing, so SST decreasing in spring. On the contrary, over the Okhotsk Sea and Kuril Islands area, the number of cyclones has decreased gradually but they become stronger in both seasons that causes the ice cover reducing and spring SST rising. In the Japan Sea, cyclonic activity has intensified, too, but this tendency causes cooling in winter and warming in summer.

<p>The formation of intermediate and deep water plays a key role in regulating climate changes at a variety of time scales through the heat redistribution and carbon cycling. The Japan Sea has unique water-mass characteristics in the North Pacific with its own deep-water formation within the Sea itself called Japan Sea Proper Water (JSPW). Latitudinal ventilation changes in the Japan Sea were reconstructed using radiolarian assemblage from three sediment cores, extending from the southwestern, central to northwestern Japan Sea. Here, we present downcore faunal records spanning the last 25 ka as well as other existing ventilation records in the Japan Sea, and provide reliable evidence to evaluate the potential controlling mechanism that lead to onset and interruption of JSPW ventilation. Taking all together, we argue that radiolarian assemblage records have revealed a distinct basin-scale transition in deep-water conditions from anoxic to oxic during the deglaciation related to changing surface hydrography. However, it should be recognized that there is significant potential for bias in the timing of the ventilation changes among regions. Deep ventilation in the central Japan Sea has been in an interglacial mode during the Bølling/Allerød presumably related to northward volume transport of the Tsushima Warm Current. Moreover, the decrease of JSPW Assemblage at the B/A in southwestern Japan Sea was attributed to higher export productivity, facilitating suboxic deepwater condition through enhanced consumption of oxygen, which was probably caused by coastal upwelling. In contrast, the weakening ventilation of the northwestern Japan Sea during the B/A and YD periods was probably caused by the blocking effect of the sea ice.

Abstract The eastern margin of the Japan Sea is located along an active convergent boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Okushiri Island, which is situated off the southwest coast of Hokkaido, is located in an active tectonic zone where many active submarine faults are distributed. Studying the records of past tsunamis on Okushiri Island is important for reconstructing the history and frequency of fault activity in this region, as well as the history of tsunamis in the northern part of the eastern margin of the Japan Sea. Five tsunami deposit horizons have been identified previously on Okushiri Island, including that of the 1741 tsunami, which are interbedded in the coastal lowlands and Holocene terraces. However, these known tsunami deposits date back only ~3,000 years. A much longer record of tsunami occurrence is required to consider the frequency of submarine fault activity. In this study, we cored from 7 to 25 m depth in the Wasabiyachi lowland on the southern part of Okushiri Island, where previous studies have confirmed the presence of multiple tsunami deposits on peat layer surfaces. The results indicate that the Wasabiyachi lowland comprises an area that was obstructed by coastal barriers between the lowland and the coast at ~8.5 ka and consists of muddy sediment and peat layers formed in lagoons and floodplains, respectively. In addition, event deposits and 15 tsunami horizons were observed among the turbidites and peat layers, dating back as far as 3,000 years. Combined with previous findings, Okushiri Island has sustained 20 tsunami events between ~7.5 ka and the present. These findings are critical for investigating the activities of submarine faults off the southwestern coast of Hokkaido, as well as for determining tsunami risks along the coast of the Japan Sea between North Tohoku and Hokkaido.

Two Populations

Recent changes in reproduction are considered for two populations of walleye pollock which spawn in the Japan Sea at the coasts of Primorye and Hokkaido. Interannual dynamics of reproduction for both populations corresponds to the stock-recruitment dependence described by Ricker curve that determines the maximum recruitment with an optimal value of stock equal to the carrying capacity of the biotope for the species and the lower recruitment if the stock is either lower or higher than this optimal value. However, instability of the Ricker curve parameters is noted, and their recent changes were unfavorable for reproduction of both populations and caused decreasing of their stocks, with sharp decline in the early 1990s. Basing on authors results and cited data, climate change in the Japan Sea region is determined as the reason of this decreasing, in particular weakening of winter monsoon. In spite of a common nature, mechanisms of the climate change influence on two studied populations are completely different: reproduction of the Hokkaido population worsened because of increasing transfer of its eggs and larvae out of the Japan Sea in conditions of the strengthening Tsushima Current, that was explained in the terms of Ricker curve as decreasing of population fecundity, but reproduction of the Primorye population worsened because of unfavorable for pollock reconstructions in the local ecosystem located in the south periphery of the Subarctic zone in conditions of increasing water temperature that was explained in the terms of Ricker curve as shrinkage of carrying capacity for pollock (from approximately 150 .103 t to almost zero level). Note that the carrying capacity did not shrink but slightly extended (to 500 .103 t) for the Hokkaido population located in the north periphery of the Subtropic zone. Features of climate warming influence onto subarctic and subtropic ecosystems are discussed.

Приведены результаты изучения остатков фаун двустворчатых моллюсков из миоценовых отложений Южного Сахалина. Их анализ позволил выделить три бореальных комплекса моллюсков: невельский, раннечеховский и курасийский, фиксирующие периоды похолодания климата в миоцене региона. Изучение неогеновых представителей родов Lucinoma и Mya позволило обозначить среди них ряд таксонов, имеющих стратиграфическое значение. Установленное присутствие тепловодных двустворок в фаунах позднечеховского времени Южного Сахалина, очевидно, отражает собой начальный этап тенденции нарастающего потепления климата в миоцене региона с климатическим оптимумом в верхнедуйско-сертунайское время. Высказывается следующее мнение: неустойчивые климатические условия в позднем палеогене – раннем неогене северной части Япономорского региона могли быть основной причиной возникновения здесь одного из мощных центров эволюции морских малакофаун бореальных районов северной Пацифики. The results on the studying of the faunae of bivalve mollusks remains from miocene deposits of the South Sakhalin are presented. The analysis of the last ones allowed distinguishing the following three boreal assemblages of mollusks: Nevelskiy, early Chekhovskiy and Kurasiiskiy, recording the period of climatic cooling in miocene of the region. Studying of Neogene representatives of Lucinoma and Mya generas allowed identifying some taxa among them which have stratigraphic significance. The detected presence of warm water bivalves in the faunae of the late Chekhovsky time of the South Sakhalin appears to reflect the initial stage of the tendency of the intensifying climate warming happened during miocene, with climatic optimum during the Verkhneduysky – Sertunaysky times. An opinion is expressed that the unstable climatic conditions in the northern part of the Japan Sea region during late Paleogene – early Neogene could have been the main reason for originating of one of the high-potential centers of evolution of the marine malacofaunae of boreal regions of the North Pacific.

New method for long-term forecasting of mean month and mean 10-days values of the ice cover and position of the ice edge in the Far-Eastern Seas is presented. The sea ice regime is formed under influence of thermal and dynamic patterns in the atmosphere and hydrosphere, though mechanisms of its forming and evolution are not yet completely clear, so the sea ice forecasting is based mainly on statistical methods. The new method is developed for the ice parameters prediction for the period with stable ice cover. It uses a physical-statistical model with ensemble approach. The minimum lead time of this method is 7 months. The model assimilates the data on absolute topography of 500 GPa surface, atmospheric pressure at the sea level, air temperature at 850 GPa surface and at the sea surface, relative topography of 500/1000 GPa surfaces, and the South Oscillation index. Archives of these fields for the Northern Hemisphere from 1961 to 2017 are loaded. The ensemble of predictions is formed using the criterion of their maximum accuracy on independent data sets. The method is tested for the winter seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The most accurate by 3 parameters are the forecasts for the Okhotsk Sea with the average accuracy 75–83 % that is much better than the accuracy of climatic forecasts (61–67 %). The forecast of the mean month ice cover only is satisfactory for the Japan Sea, and the forecast of the ice edge position only (65 % accuracy) exceeds the climate forecasting accuracy for the Bering Sea, while the climatic forecasting shows better results for the ice cover. The average accuracy of forecasting with new method (all parameters for all seas) exceeds 70 %, that allows to recommend the method for practical using. A prognostic product could be proposed as charts of the sea ice edge for future winter with estimations of the ice cover for each sea by months and 10-days.
