Description
The peer-reviewed articles in this book shed light on the intertwined effects of fishing pressure and climate on the largest fisheries in the Northern Hemisphere. Papers on cod, haddock, and pollock emphasize that healthier fish stocks in Alaska are associated with more conservative catch limits there than in Atlantic Canada, the northeastern U.S., and Europe. In all regions, climate variability plays an important role in gadid stocks and fisheries. Read about Atlantic cod rebuilding and fecundity off Canada, walleye pollock schooling and feeding, shrinking haddock, and recruitment to the fishery. This symposium proceedings is a must-have for scientists studying fisheries management and climate-driven changes in groundfish fisheries worldwide.
