Call for papers
The deadline for this call has passed.
This symposium will address the resiliency of gadid stocks (including cods, haddocks, pollocks, lings, whitings, and hakes) to fishing and climate change, taking a comparative approach across different management systems and marine ecosystems, and over multiple climate regimes. For more about the symposium background and goals, please see the gadid symposium information page.
Topics
This call for papers seeks contributions on gadid stocks especially, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Mechanisms of fishery collapse or resiliency under different management and/or climate regimes evidenced by regional case studies, including consideration of the synergistic effects of fishing and climate.
- Effects of fishing on biological or ecological attributes that determine stock productivity.
- Population dynamics.
- Biophysical mechanisms for year-class successes or failures.
- Effects of climate change on gadid predators and their prey.
- Role of gadids and similar species in ecosystem structure and dynamics.
- Fishery management and rebuilding strategies for depleted stocks.
Comparative papers across regions or oceans and across species are particularly encouraged to advance our knowledge about gadids and their responses to climate and fishing.
Abstract Submission
The call for papers has been extended. To contribute either an oral or poster presentation, submit an abstract no later than August 20, 2006, using the online submission form.
