Strong currents of cold western Bering Sea waters follow into the Pacific Ocean through the Kamchatka Strait, forming the so-called Oyashio current. Certain cold-water plankton organisms serve as good indicators of this cold current, one of them being Calanus finmarchicus (Fig. 413). The actual circulation of water masses in the western part of the Bering Sea is probably much more complex than in the diagram given. The Bering Sea, like the Sea of Okhotsk, is characterized, especially in its western and northern parts, by the severity of conditions on the surface. Even in summer the surface waters down to 30 or 40 m are never warmer than 9° to 10°. Below the surface layers, especially on the western side of the Sea, there.
