Abstract
The article presents results of analysis of distribution of Pacific cod in the Southwestern Bering Sea on the data of bottom trawl surveys 2000–2020 in different hydrological periods (spring, summer and autumn). Density and dynamics of the distribution by depth ranges and size composition of this species were analyzed. Assumptions about nature of Pacific cod migrations in analyzed area are formulated.
