The Gulf of Alaska LME lies off the southern coast of Alaska and the western coast of Canada. Its hydrography is marked by the counterclockwise gyre of the Alaska Current and incursions by the colder Subarctic Current. The Gulf of Alaska (GOA) shelf supports a diverse ecosystem that includes several commercially important fisheries such as crab, shrimp, pollock, salmon, and halibut. In aggregate these stocks imply that the gulf is amongst the world's largest fisheries with annual catches exceeding 300g/1000 m3. (http://murphydome.ims.uaf.edu:8000/globec/intro/).
