John Mandelman: Solving a Cod-undrum – I recommend this video. Well worth the time investment.
Published on May 30, 2014 The Atlantic codhas not recovered from stock collapses in recent years, despite substantial management intervention and a major reduction in commercial fishing effort. . Dr. John Mandelman describes ongoing work by the New England Aquarium and colleagues to better understand the fate of undersized cod that by law must be released after capture in recreational fisheries, and which strategies may increase the probability of survival.

Atlantic cod pushing out Arctic relatives?
When I visited the AWI Biological Institute on the German North Sea island of Helgoland last year for a story on how climate change is affecting marine life, the Institute’s Director Karen Wiltshire mentioned to me that cod was disappearing from the waters around the island. The Atlantic cod, it seems, are moving north, more@iceblog 20:03
Are you a big-picture person, or do you focus on the details? Two Takes on Climate Change in the Ocean
A pair of recent studies show how marine ecosystems are changing as ocean temperatures rise, and that these changes are happening more quickly than expected. [email protected] 09:42
Atlantic cod in for even more stress? – Marine biologists launch a new research project
Researchers have known for some years that the Atlantic cod beats the retreat in the direction of the Arctic when the waters in its traditional habitat become too warm. In summer, shoals from the Atlantic Ocean, for example, are now moving up as far as Spitsbergen into the waters the Arctic cod calls its own. continued
Auctions confirm renewed ‘uptick’ in cod – following its age-old pattern
Both of Gloucester’s general fish auction houses are confirming reports by fishermen that cod — the fish that helped make this city the world’s oldest, most famous and, for a long time, its busiest fishing port — appears to be following its age-old pattern as it swims in increasing numbers into the shallow waters off Cape Ann. continue reading
Acoustic monitoring of Atlantic cod reveals clues to spawning behavior – Phys.Org
For decades researchers have recorded sounds from whales and other marine mammals, using a variety of methods including passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) to better understand how these animals use sound to interact with each other and with the environment. Now, for the first time, researchers report using this technology to record spawning cod in the wild. continued
Sea Surface Temperatures Reach Record Highs on Northeast Continental Shelf
During the first six months of 2012, sea surface temperatures in the Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem were the highest ever recorded, according to the latest Ecosystem Advisory issued by NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC). http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/press_release/2012/SciSpot/SS1209/
