Description:
Pershing et al (Science, 13 November 2015, p. 809) concluded that recent warming in the Gulf of Maine contributed to the collapse of Gulf of Maine cod. We argue that this conclusion is based on a flawed analysis of the population dynamics of this cod stock. We believe that understanding the potential role of climate change in the collapse of this stock requires more defensible analyses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Swain, Douglas P -- Benoit, Hugues P -- Cox, Sean P -- Cadigan, Noel G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Apr 22;352(6284):423. doi: 10.1126/science.aad9346.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Gulf Fisheries Centre, Moncton, NB E1C 9B6, Canada. ; Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Gulf Fisheries Centre, Moncton, NB E1C 9B6, Canada. hugues.benoit@dfo-mpo.gc.ca. ; School of Resource and Environmental Management, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada. ; Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research, Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, NL A1C 5R3, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27102474" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
