The impact of ocean warming and acidification on the behaviour of two co-occurring Gadid species, Boreogadus saida and Gadus morhua from Svalbard [PDF]
Ocean acidification induces strong behavioural alterations in marine fish as a conse- quence of acid−base regulatory processes in response to increasing environmental CO2 partial pressure.

Antioxidant defenses in polar cod (Boreogadus saida) and responsiveness toward dietary crude oil exposure [PDF]
Increasing anthropogenic activities in the Arctic pose the risk for accidental oil spills but our knowledge of ecotoxicological effects is still limited for Arctic organisms. This study aimed to provide insights in baseline levels of antioxidants in polar cod (Boreogadus saida) from different Arctic locations and investigate the susceptibility of this ...

Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida Lepechin, 1774) is a key species in Arctic marine ecosystems, acting as a dominant mid-trophic link that transfers up to 75% of energy to higher trophic levels. It is therefore central to cultural identity, ecosystem function,
