Pacific ocean perch is a very slow-growing species, with a low rate of natural mortality (estimated at 0.06), a relatively old age at 50% maturity (10.5 years for females in the Gulf of Alaska), and a very old maximum age of 98 years in Alaska (84 years maximum age in the Gulf of Alaska). [25]
As at July 2018, the OBIS website states that the system provides access to over 45 million observations of nearly 120,000 marine species (the reduced number of names cited being as a result of synonym resolution, i.e. reduction of taxa recorded under multiple names to a single accepted name), based on contributions from 500 institutions from ...
The little brown bat is the most common and widespread bat in Alaska. [7] As with other myotis species in Alaska, little brown bats often roost in abandoned buildings and old mines; they may also be found roosting alone in trees or rock crevices. [7] Little brown bats have been observed hibernating in Southeast Alaska and Kodiak Island. [7]
Marine mammals comprise over 130 living and recently extinct species in three taxonomic orders. The Society for Marine Mammalogy, an international scientific society, maintains a list of valid species and subspecies, most recently updated in October 2015. [1] This list follows the Society's taxonomy regarding and subspecies.
Ages and growth rates of bamboo coral in the deepest water are unknown. However, based on radiocarbon-based growth rate and age data from specimens in the Gulf of Alaska, the life span has been estimated to be between 75 and 126 years. [12] A number of bamboo coral species are bioluminescent. [13]
Pandalus platyceros are found throughout the marine waters of the North Pacific Ocean. [5] While found living from 3.7 meters to 457.2 meters, spot shrimp are most often found around 109.7 meters below sea level. [6]
