The two large regions compared here are geographically extensive 

 and internally very heterogeneous. For these reasons detailed compari- 

 sons with the Tsesis study should preferably be made for individual 

 regions within Alaskan waters, with due regard to the specific features 

 of the region. The above highly generalized comparisons were intended 

 mainly to indicate that more detailed comparisons can be meaningful.
