چکیده
Palmer et al and Swain et al suggest that our "extra mortality" time series is spurious. In response, we show that including temperature-dependent mortality improves abundance estimates and that warming waters reduce growth rates in Gulf of Maine cod. Far from being spurious, temperature effects on this stock are clear, and continuing to ignore them puts the stock in jeopardy.

Slow adaptation in the face of rapid warming leads to collapse of the Gulf of Maine cod fishery.
Several studies have documented fish populations changing in response to long-term warming. Over the past decade, sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Maine increased faster than 99% of the global ocean. The warming, which was related to a northward shift in the Gulf Stream and to changes in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, led to reduced recruitment and...
متن کاملNew England Cod Collapse and the Climate
To improve fishery management, there is an increasing need to understand the long-term consequences of natural and anthropogenic climate variability for ecological systems. New England's iconic cod populations have been in decline for several decades and have recently reached unprecedented lows. We find that 17% of the overall decline in Gulf of Maine cod biomass since 1980 can be attributed to...

Average age and size at maturation have decreased in many commercially exploited fish stocks during the last few decades. This phenomenon could be either a direct phenotypic response to some environmental variation, or the evolutionary consequence of some selective pressure. Traditionally used maturation indices, i.e. the age and size at which 50% of individuals are mature, are not appropriate ...
متن کاملThe adaptation of visual arts and architecture to with AN attitude toward Emmanuel Levinas’s Face- To- Face philosophy
One of problems of today’s society is the fact that the artist is away from the profession of other arts and various social groups, as well as disregard of art and artist by the above groups and the consequent weakness of art in the community. The importance of establishing social interactions and Face- To- Face of different social groups with the arts and artists, as well as artist with other ...
متن کاملElemental Fingerprinting of Mussel Shells to Predict Population Sources and Redistribution Potential in the Gulf of Maine
As the climate warms, species that cannot tolerate changing conditions will only persist if they undergo range shifts. Redistribution ability may be particularly variable for benthic marine species that disperse as pelagic larvae in ocean currents. The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, has recently experienced a warming-related range contraction in the southeastern USA and may face limitations to no...
