Pacific cod is a transoceanic species, occurring at depths from shoreline to 500 m. The southern limit of the species’ distribution is about 34° N latitude, with a northern limit of about 63° N latitude.
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) ranges across the northern Pacific Ocean from California, northward to the Gulf of Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and Bering Sea north to Norton Sound; and southward along the Asian coast to the northern Yellow Sea.
This is a three species stock assessment for walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias), from the Eastern Bering Sea, Alaska.
This assessment summarizes and synthesizes climate, biological, and fishing effects on the shelf and slope regions of the Gulf of Alaska, from an ecosystem perspective, and to provides an assessment of the possible future.
This assessment summarizes and synthesizes historical climate and fishing effects on the shelf and slope regions of the Aleutian Islands (AI) from an ecosystem perspective, and provides an assessment of the possible future.
