Abstract—A comparative analysis is performed of the data obtained during complex large-scale surveys of the
epipelagic layer in the southern Sea of Okhotsk and in Pacific waters around the Kuril Islands in August–Sep-
tember 1994. The results are compared with the results of surveys carried out in 1991–1993. Long-term trends
are discovered concerning the dynamics of climatic and oceanographical parameters and of the composition
and structure of planktonic and nektonic communities. The distribution and abundance dynamics of hydro-
bionts are discussed in connection with the observed changes in environmental conditions.
