Distribution of Japanese catches of pollock in 1977. 165 170 175 180. are detected during pollock fishing operations. They have also been an occasional target species of the Japanese longline fishery. Since Pacific ocean perch and sablefish are dis- tributed primarily over the continental slope, the largest catches occurred near the shelf edge (Figs. 60-7, 60-8). Historically, catches of Pacific ocean perch have been higher in the Aleutian Islands region than in the eastern Bering Sea, as in 1977 (Fig. 60-7). Sablefish are more abundant in the eastern Bering Sea than in the Aleutians. A third species group taken mainly on the outer continental shelf and slope of the eastern Bering Sea is Greenland turbot and arrov^rtooth flounder. As adults, these large flounders mainly occupy conti- nental slope waters, whereas juveniles are generally found on the shelf. Major concentrations of adults.
