      Arctic cod biomass are predicted. In most Arctic seas, the relative abundance of Arctic cod within the fish community will likely fluctuate in accordance with cold and warm periods. A reduced abundance of Arctic cod will negatively affect the abundance, distribution, and physiological condition of certain predators, whereas some predators will successfully adapt to a more boreal diet. Regional ...
    • Climate and juvenile recruitment as drivers of Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) dynamics in two Canadian Arctic seas

      Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is the most abundant forage fish species in Arctic seas and plays a pivotal role in the transfer of energy between zooplankton and top predators. The dominance of Arctic cod and the Arctic’s relatively low biodiversity interact such that changing population dynamics of Arctic cod have cascading effects on whole Arctic marine ecosystems. Over the last decades, warming ...
    • Climate warming enhances polar cod recruitment, at least transiently 

      Bouchard, Caroline; Geoffroy, Maxime; LeBlanc, Mathieu; Majewski, Andrew; Gauthier, Stéphane; Walkusz, Wojciech; Reist, James D.; Fortier, Louis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-27)
      Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) is the dominant forage fish in Arctic seas and the main prey of the ringed seal (Pusa hispida), the beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) and several seabird species. Changes in the abundance of polar cod will have cascading effects on arctic marine ecosystems. We tested the hypothesis that an earlier sea ice breakup and warmer sea surface temperatures (SST) in spring-summer ...
    • Coastal Polynya Disrupts the Acoustic Backscatter Diurnal Signal Over the Eastern Laptev Sea Shelf 

      Dmitrenko, Igor A.; Petrusevich, Vladislav; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Komarov, Alexander S.; Bouchard, Caroline; Geoffroy, Maxime; Koldunov, Nikolay V.; Babb, David G.; Kirillov, Sergey A.; Barber, David G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)
      The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is one of the largest species migrations to occur globally and is a key driver of regional ecosystems and the marine carbon pump. The dramatic changes in the Arctic environment in recent years, mainly associated with sea-ice decline, may have wide significance for the Arctic shelf ecosystems including DVM. Observations have revealed the occurrence of ...
    • Resource partitioning may limit interspecific competition among Arctic fish species during early life 

      Bouchard, Caroline; Chawarski, Julek; Geoffroy, Maxime; Klasmeier, Apasiri; Møller, Eva Friis; Mohn, Christian; Agersted, Mette Dalgaard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-28)
      Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) strongly dominates the ichthyoplankton assemblages of High Arctic seas, hence competition with other native species seldom has been studied. Yet, interspecific competition could negatively impact the survival of early life stages of fishes in Arctic areas where higher diversity prevails. We surveyed the ichthyoplankton community of the Greenland Sea, in August–September ...
