Cod Stocks
Cod presently inhabit many of the continental shelf areas of the northern North Atlantic, bordering the subpolar gyre.

Temperature accounts for most of the differences in growth rates between stocks (Brander 1994, 1995).

Further on Temperature Effects • Individual growth and production of Atlantic cod is found to increase with temperature (Dutil and Brander, 2004).
•In spite of this, population abundance tends to be maximum in colder water stocks, e.g. Northeast Arctic cod and until recently, Northern cod off Newfoundland.
•There are no cod stocks found at average bottom temperatures exceeding 12°C.

Summary of Temperature Changes in Cod RegionsPredicted temperature changes range from 2° to 5°C.
Maximum temperatures and uncertainty ranges in the north (e.g. Barents Sea, Greenland) and minimum in the south (e.g. North Sea, Celtic Sea, Georges Bank).
Multi-model variability varies from ±1.5°C at lower values to ±3°C.

Northward Expansion
In addition to the changes in the present stocks, under warming temperatures the cod with expand northward. This will include establishing new spawning sites.
How far north?

Northward Expansion

Growth – With increasing temperatures both individual growth (Brander 1995) and stock production (Dutil and Brander 2003) should generally increase.
Condition – With increasing temperatures and improved growth rates the cod should be in better condition.
Maturity – With increasing temperatures age of maturity will likely decrease.
![Page 27: 1 1 Ken Drinkwater Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway Bjerkenes Center Climate Research The Response of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) to Future](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cce5503460f94999b25/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27 27
With increasing temperatures:
•Overall Atlantic cod production should generally increase both due to individual growth and stock production and better condition.
•The cod will expand northward, which will include the establishment of new spawning grounds.
•However, we expect some of the present warmer water stocks will decrease substantially and the stocks in the warmest waters may disappear altogether.
Summary
![Page 28: 1 1 Ken Drinkwater Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway Bjerkenes Center Climate Research The Response of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) to Future](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cce5503460f94999b25/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

•Only considered temperature effects on cod.
•The temperature changes will be linked to what happens to the circulation changes, e.g. to the thermohaline circulation and wind forcing.
•There is high uncertainty in the future temperature scenarios and few regional climate models are available.
•Cod is not independent of the ecosystem and can not be considered separately, i.e. its food.
•Fishing will play a major role in the response and must be included in future .
Caveats
![Page 29: 1 1 Ken Drinkwater Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway Bjerkenes Center Climate Research The Response of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) to Future](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cce5503460f94999b25/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29 29
• In spite of the uncertainties and general nature of the results, there is support for the conclusions.
1. During the 1920s and 1930s warming, cod spread northward (see Drinkwater poster).
2. There is evidence that spawning sites move northward under warming conditions (see Sundby and Nokken poster).
3. Cod production and biomass was high in most regions during the last warm period from the 1920s to the 1960s or so.
