Cod
Atlantic cod are the iconic Newfoundland groundfish species, once being harvested in one of the world's largest fisheries and now a poster child for fisheries mis-management
Most of our lab's research on Atlantic cod to date has focused on understanding how Atlantic cod body condition, an indicator of overall physiological health, has changed over time and space. This research has indicated that cod condition has been very low when cod population size declines, indicating that some of the cause of these declines can be attributed to starvation. This starvation appears to be linked to limited availability of high quality forage fish prey, for example, capelin and sand lance.
