Distribution and abundance of myctophid fish species in the upper epipelagic layer are analyzed based on results of surveys in the Gulf of Alaska in winters of 2019 and 2020. A common myctophid community driven by blue lanternfish Tarletonbeania crenularis was revealed that occupied likely the entire eastern part of the Subarctic Front zone eastward from 150ºW. Abundance and biomass of four mass myctophid species were generally comparable between the northeastern and northwestern Pacific. Small-sized juveniles prevailed among northern lampfish Stenobrachius leucopsarus, which were likely transported by the Subarctic Current and could be recruited to the Bering Sea stock. Patterns of daily vertical migrations are discussed for the mass myctophid species. New observations confirm general understandings on the myctophid species input to functioning of fish community.

Abundances of Pacific pomfret (Brama japonica), an epipelagic fish of the North Pacific Ocean, were estimated from gillnet catches during the summers of 1978–1989. Two size modes were common: small pomfret <1 yr old, and large fish ages 1–6. Large and small fish moved northward as temperatures increased, but large fish migrated farther north, often into the cool, low-salinity waters of the Central Subarctic Pacific. Lengths of small fish were positively correlated with latitude and negatively correlated with summer surface temperature. Interannual variations in the latitude of catches correlated with surface temperatures. Large catches were made in the eastern Gulf of Alaska (51–55°N) but modes of small pomfret were absent here, and large fish were rare at these latitudes farther to the west. Pomfret grow rapidly during their first two years of life. They are pectoral fin swimmers that swim continuously. They prey largely on gonatid squids in the region of the Subarctic Current in the Gulf of Alaska during summer. No evidence was found for aggregations on a scale ≤1 km. Differences in the incidence of tapeworm, spawning seasons, and size distributions suggest the possibility of discrete populations in the North Pacific Ocean.
