Description:
Pershing et al (Reports, 13 November, p. 809) concluded that failure to account for temperature in the assessment and management of Gulf of Maine Atlantic cod caused overfishing. We argue that the "extra mortality" calculation driving this conclusion is an artifact. Environmental factors affect all stocks, but attribution of additional mortality to temperature alone by Pershing et al is unsupported by the data.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Palmer, Michael C -- Deroba, Jonathan J -- Legault, Christopher M -- Brooks, Elizabeth N -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Apr 22;352(6284):423. doi: 10.1126/science.aad9674.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Population Dynamics Branch, 166 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA. michael.palmer@noaa.gov. ; Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Population Dynamics Branch, 166 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27102473" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
