Key Tasks:

The BIO Committee's area of responsibility is to promote and coordinate biological oceanography and interdisciplinary research in the northern North Pacific. Biological oceanography plays a key intermediary role with respect to the other PICES Scientific Committees. For example, lower trophic levels may be the most directly affected by processes considered by the Physical Oceanography and Climate Committee. Biological Oceanography Committee also plays a central role in defining "normal" conditions against which changes of interest to marine environmental quality can be measured. Finally, Biological Oceanography Committee interacts with the Fishery Science Committee to provide scientific advice on ecological roles of lower and higher trophic level organisms in relation to fisheries.
