The Atlantic fishery abruptly collapsed in 1993, following overfishing since the late-1950s, and an earlier partial collapse in the 1970s. [1] It is expected to recover to historical, sustainable levels by 2030. [2] In 1992, Northern Cod populations fell to 1% of historical levels, due in large part to decades of overfishing. [3]

2021年4月7日 · Atlantic cod was once one of the most important fish species in the world. The big, long-lived predator helped feed Europe and North America for centuries. But decades of overfishing in the mid–20th century caused populations to crash, wiping out 30,000 jobs in Canada alone and financially devastating many coastal communities.

2023年7月11日 · Published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, a U.S. National Science Foundation-supported report offers the first genomic evidence that Atlantic cod evolved new traits over only decades during a period of overfishing — evolutionary changes that scientists formerly believed could take millions of years.

2024年9月6日 · Cod is an iconic fish of New England and in recent years, Atlantic cod stocks in our region have declined dramatically. NOAA Fisheries is working to rebuild this population. The Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank stocks are overfished, but the fishing rate established under rebuilding plans promotes population growth. Reduced to end overfishing.

As overexploited Atlantic cod stocks dwindle, New England fishing communities struggle with the loss of income (from commercial fishing and recreational guided fishing trips), food security, and regional culture.

2025年1月28日 · The Atlantic cod population, particularly off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, experienced a dramatic collapse during the late 20th century, primarily due to overfishing. For centuries, Atlantic cod was a vital resource for coastal communities in the North Atlantic, especially in Newfoundland, where it supported both local economies and ...

2021年4月5日 · Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve genetically and mature earlier, according to a study led by Rutgers University and the University of Oslo – the first of its kind – with major implications for ocean conservation.

“The Gulf of Maine Atlantic cod stock is overfished and overfishing is occurring. (Figure 4). 2013 spawning biomass levels are the lowest ever estimated and are at 4% or 3% of the SSBMSY proxy. The 2013 fully selected fishing mortality is estimated to be greater than 1.2, which is more than 6 times greater than the FMSY proxy.

2015年10月29日 · Pershing et al. found that cod stocks declined continuously during intense warming in the North Atlantic. Fisheries quotas, even though they were responsibly set and followed by fishers, decreased the reproductive rate.

2023年5月31日 · Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, a report by scientists offers the first genomic evidence that Atlantic cod evolved new traits over only...
