Water too warm for cod in US Gulf of Maine as stocks near collapse
2015-10-29 23:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A rapid warming of the Gulf of Maine off the eastern United States has made the water too warm for cod, pushing stocks towards collapse despite deep reductions in the number of fish caught, a US study has shown. The Gulf of Maine had warmed faster than 99% of the rest of the worlds oceans in the past decade, influenced by shifts in the Atlantic Gulf Stream, changes in the Pacific Ocean and a wider trend of climate change, it said. Scientists said the findings showed a need to take more account...
Warming waters a major factor in the collapse of New England cod

ScienceDaily: For centuries, cod were the backbone of New England's fisheries and a key species in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. Today, cod stocks are on the verge of collapse, hovering at 3-4% of sustainable levels. Even cuts to the fishery have failed to slow this rapid decline, surprising both fishermen and fisheries managers. For the first time, a new report in Science explains why. It shows that the cod collapse is in large part due to rapid warming of the ocean in the Gulf of Maine -- 99 percent faster than...

Collapse of New England's iconic cod tied to climate change
2015-10-29 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: The Atlantic cod, a fish that came to symbolize bounty to Americas colonial settlers, is on the brink of disappearing, despite years of fishing limits aimed at rebuilding stocks. A new study reveals why: Cod spawning and survival has been hampered by rapid, extraordinary ocean warming in the Gulf of Maine, where sea surface temperatures rose faster than anywhere else on the planet between 2003 and 2014. Over this same 10-year period, fishery managers set quotas that they felt were informed by...
