Effects of a changing windfield on cod stocks of the North Atlantic

摘要: This paper reviews the impacts of climatic change on six North Atlantic cod stocks during present century – at Iceland, Greenland, Labrador, Faroes, Barents Sea and Baltic. Though relevant changes in each region can all be set context same slow shifts large–scale windfield, mechanism scale response is varied, operating through interstock exchange larvae by ocean currents, direct effects windiness stratification, indirect environmental temperature and, special case Baltic, via westerly wind events inflow/ stagnation cycle Baltic Deeps. In certain places times, these influences have constituted dominant control success a stock.
