Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima
Open accessAbstract
Recent studies in the marine environment have suggested that the limited phenotypic plasticity of cold-adapted species such as Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. will cause distributions to shift toward the poles in response to rising sea temperatures.Some cod stocks are predicted to collapse, but this remains speculative because almost no information is available on the thermal tolerance of cod in its natural environment.We used electronic tags to measure the thermal experience of 384 adult Atlantic cod from 8 different stocks in the northeast Atlantic.Over 100 000 d of data were collected in total.The data demonstrate that cod is an adaptable and tolerant species capable of surviving and growing in a wide range of temperate marine climates.The total thermal niche ranged from -1.5 to 19°C; this range was narrower (1 to 8°C) during the spawning season.Cod in each of the stocks studied had a thermal niche of approximately 12°C, but latitudinal differences in water temperature meant that cod in the warmer, southern regions experienced 3 times the degree days (DD; ~4000 DD yr -1 ) than individuals from northern regions (~1200 DD yr -1 ).Growth rates increased with temperature, reaching a maximum in those cod with a mean thermal history of between 8 and 10°C.Our direct observations of habitat occupation suggest that adult cod will be able to tolerate warming seas, but that climate change will affect cod populations at earlier life-history stages as well as exerting effects on cod prey species.

“…shocks were also experienced by cod in the Baltic Sea and Skagerrak and, in extreme cases, led to some cod experiencing daily thermal ranges greater than 10°C and up to 13°C, which is similar to or greater than the temperature ranges reported for deep-diving oceanic predators (Block et al. 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
