Anomalous pelagic nekton abundance, distribution, and apparent recruitment in the northern California Current in 2004 and 2005
Richard D. Brodeur,Stephen Ralston,Robert L. Emmett,Marc Trudel,Toby D. Auth,A. Jason Phillips +5 more
TL;DR: The response of pelagic nekton to these anomalous conditions was widespread and included onshore and poleward displacement of taxa to new geographic areas, population changes within the normal range, and reduced productivity of early life stages based on larval and juvenile surveys.

Bradley,Peter Warybok +31 more
TL;DR: The most recent state-of-the-art state of the California Current (SOTCC) is presented in this paper, where the authors focus on the conditions associated with several offshore regions of anomalously warm water, the northernmost commonly referred to as the blob.

Phenological and distributional shifts in ichthyoplankton associated with recent warming in the northeast Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: The results suggest that the spawning phenology and distribution of several ecologically and commercially important fish species dramatically and rapidly changed in response to the warming conditions occurring in 2014-2016, and could be an indication of future conditions under projected climate change.

Major Shifts in Pelagic Micronekton and Macrozooplankton Community Structure in an Upwelling Ecosystem Related to an Unprecedented Marine Heatwave
TL;DR: The community structure of pelagic zooplankton and micronekton may be a sensitive indicator of changes in environmental conditions within the California Current ecosystem as discussed by the authors, and the substantial reorganization of the pelagic community has the potential to lead to major alterations in trophic functioning in this normally productive ecosystem.
Abundance and diversity of coastal fish larvae as indicators of recent changes in ocean and climate conditions in the Oregon upwelling zone
Richard D. Brodeur,William T. Peterson,Toby D. Auth,Heather L. Soulen,Maria M. Parnel,Ashley A. Emerson +5 more
TL;DR: A small subset of fish whose larvae can be monitored as indicators of warm and cold phases in the northeast Pacific Ocean are identified, related to concurrent shifts in the zooplankton biomass and composition off Oregon during cold and warm environmental regimes.
