The Arctic cod is intrinsically linked to the Arctic as its primary habitat, where it serves as a key forage fish [1], faces population pressures from shifting ecosystem dynamics [2], and is impacted by human activities such as increased ship traffic [3].

claimArctic cod (Boreogadus saida) and polar cod (Arctogadus glacialis) are important forage fishes for predators in Arctic and Subarctic regions.
claimIncreased ship traffic and human activities in the Arctic are anticipated to affect the movement patterns of Arctic cod, seabirds, and marine mammals.
claimIncreased numbers of Subarctic species in the Arctic can result in greater competition for resources, such as diet overlap, which potentially causes declines in endemic populations and alters ecosystem structure, as observed with Arctic cod in the Atlantic Arctic (Renaud et al., 2012; Christiansen, 2017).
