Abstract Fisheries oceanography is the study of ecological relationships between
fishes and the dynamics of their marine environments and aims to characterize the
physical, chemical, and biological factors that affect the recruitment and abundance
of harvested species. A recent push within the fisheries management community is
toward ecosystem-based management. Here, we show how physical and biological
oceanography data can be used to generate indicators of ocean conditions in an
ecosystem context, and how these indicators relate to the recruitment of salmonids,
sablefish, sardines, and rockfish in the California Current.
