Even where quotas are reduced, cod recovery is hampered by how many fisheries operate in practice.
Nearly a third of the cod we tested had a different origin than the one reported.
Conservation groups can now share and compare climate adaptation tactics to support threatened species and ecosystems through a new online tool called AdaptLog.
These classic books offer a smorgasbord of perspectives on the ways food shapes our world – and ourselves. They’ll make you hungry, too!
Fisheries scientist Tyler Eddy explains the history of the North Atlantic cod moratorium, and why it was lifted in 2024. Listen to The Conversation Weekly podcast.
Having a flexible and adaptable management system is necessary to sustainably manage fisheries, especially in times of a rapidly changing climate.
The warming observed in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is causing upheaval in the balance of the species living there. That is having direct repercussions on the commercial fishing sector.
Evolution by natural selection is a potent agent of change, allowing species to adapt to new and changing environments. But is it sustainable?
Certain combinations of genetic material are being conserved through the generations.
A collaborative approach with Scottish fishers has led to an app that shares data about the location of endangered species so that other fishing vessels can avoid them.
Determining the age of fish has been historically difficult, primarily involving lethal methods. A new DNA test solves this problem.
When fish are out of water, consumers are out of their depth.
The Atlantic Ocean is still growing physically, but humans are over-harvesting its rich fisheries. The most famous one – North Atlantic cod – has become a textbook example of harmful overfishing.
Cod could become locally extinct in the southern gulf of St. Lawrence. One solution is to cull the grey seals that feed on the floundering stock.
