Climate Change is Decimating Cod in Gulf of Maine

Climate Central: Climate change is expected to vastly reshape our food resources from the seed we sow to the fish we catch in the sea. In the case of cod in the Gulf of Maine, those impacts could be happening here and now, according to new findings. The research, published on Thursday in Science, shows that waters in the region have recently warmed at an unprecedented rate. Fisheries management has not been able to keep up with the warming, resulting in cod stocks that are at just 3 to 4 percent of sustainable...
Warmer oceans mean some cod stocks will never fully recover

New Scientist: ailure to include changes in sea temperature in fisheries models has led fisheries managers to overestimate some stocks by two to five times, leading to overfishing. Now warmer water may make the recovery of one cod fishery to previous levels impossible. Cod off the north-east coast of North America has historically been one of the worlds great protein resources. But overfishing caused a crash in the biggest stocks off Newfoundland and Labrador, where cod fishing has been banned since 1992. The...

Water too warm for cod in U.S. Gulf of Maine; stock near collapse
2015-10-29 19:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A rapid warming of the Gulf of Maine off the eastern United States has made the water too hot for cod, pushing stocks toward collapse despite deep reductions in the number of fish caught, a U.S. study showed on Thursday. The Gulf of Maine had warmed faster than 99 percent of the rest of the world's oceans in the past decade, influenced by shifts in the Atlantic Gulf Stream, changes in the Pacific Ocean and a wider trend of climate change, it said. Scientists said the findings showed a need...
Collapse of New England's iconic cod tied to climate change

Science: The Atlantic cod, a fish that came to symbolize bounty to Americas colonial settlers, is on the brink of disappearing, despite years of fishing limits aimed at rebuilding stocks. A new study reveals why: Cod spawning and survival has been hampered by rapid, extraordinary ocean warming in the Gulf of Maine, where sea surface temperatures rose faster than anywhere else on the planet between 2003 and 2014. Over this same 10-year period, fishery managers set quotas that they felt were informed by...
