Growth of Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in the Barents Sea

, 1990
Observed length-at-age, and backcalculated lengths based on otolith measurements, from samples of polar cod collected in the Barents Sea in autumn of 1987 to 1989, were analysed. An increase in individual length growth of one-year-olds was observed from 1987 to 1989.

Black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) readily consume Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) in the Canadian Arctic: insights from stomach content and stable isotope analyses

Arctic Science
The Arctic is undergoing rapid declines in sea ice and changes in Arctic ecosystems. The diet of one of the Arctic’s most abundant seabirds, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), has been used as an indicator of ecosystem changes in the European

Ecosystem structure and function of the North Water Polynya

Arctic Science
The North Water Polynya is one of the most productive Arctic regions on Earth, sustaining the world's northernmost Inuit communities for millennia. The polynya is a large and persistent region of open water surrounded by sea ice and exhibits high primary

The Ensemble of Conformations of Antifreeze Glycoproteins (AFGP8): A Study Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Biomolecules, 2019
The primary sequence of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) is highly degenerate, consisting of multiple repeats of the same tripeptide, Ala−Ala−Thr*, in which Thr* is a glycosylated threonine with the disaccharide beta-d-galactosyl-(1,3)-alpha ...

Transcriptome responses to benzo[a]pyrene in liver slices of sub-arctic fish species

Frontiers in Marine Science
Due to the expanding oil-related activities, the arctic and sub-arctic marine environments are increasingly vulnerable to oil-related pollution such as accidental oil spills. These cold-water ecosystems harbor many fish species that are both ecologically

Decadal migration timing and temporal variation in dive behavior of an endangered beluga whale population

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionUnderstanding migration timing and movement behavior is critical for predicting population responses to environmental changes. The beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) population in Cumberland Sound, Nunavut, is currently endangered due to ...

Transcriptomic basis for differentiation of fjord and offshore Boreogadus saida (Polar cod) populations

, 2021
Boreogadus saida (Polar cod) is a critical ecological linkage between planktonic primary production and megafaunal top consumers in the Arctic. Despite its critical ecology, the population structure, especially the relationship between fjord and oceanic groups inhabiting environments with different physical characteristics, is poorly described.
