Abstract
Structure and biomass dynamics of demersal community in the Pacific waters off the Northern Kuril Islands were analyzed on the data of trawling surveys for 1987–2015. It is demonstrated that in the aspect of a longterm average the demersal communities are represented mainly by abundant species of gadids (Gadidae), greenlings (Hexagrammidae), sculpins (Cottidae), rockfishes (Sebastidae), snailfishes (Liparidae) and flatfishes (Pleuronectidae). Similar trends of the long-term dynamics of fish biomass are observed in the waters of the Northern and Southern Kuriles, East Sakhalin and West Kamchatka. The long-term data indicate of an increase of the abundance of the stocks in the middle of the 1980th, a decrease in the first half of the 2000th, a new increase in the last half of the 2000th, causing the peak level of the stocks in 2007–2009. Indications of a next decline in the biomass of the stocks have been observed since 2010. The lont-term dynamics of the average density of the fish demonstrated similar trends, although the main trend in 2013–2015 was up.
