referenceKessel et al. (2017) documented the first large-scale horizontal movements of individual Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida).
claimArctic cod (Boreogadus saida) and polar cod (Arctogadus glacialis) are important forage fishes for predators in Arctic and Subarctic regions.
claimArctic cod (Boreogadus saida) perform seasonal movements inshore to shallow waters during summer for juvenile development, adult feeding, and pre-spawning schooling, while moving to deeper areas for spawning and overwintering below sea ice.
claimIn the Chukchi Sea, the migration of Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) between nursery grounds as juveniles, feeding grounds as subadults, and spawning grounds as adults is linked to ice cover and seasonal production patterns.
referenceForster, C. E., Norcross, B. L., Mueter, F. J., Logerwell, E. A., and Seitz, A. C. (2020) published 'Spatial patterns, environmental correlates, and potential seasonal migration triangle of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) distribution in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas' in Polar Biology, volume 43, pages 1073–1094, analyzing the migration patterns of polar cod.
referencePolar cod (Boreogadus saida) and capelin (Mallotus villosus) serve as key species in the marine food webs of the Arctic and the Barents Sea, as described in a 2013 study by Hop and Gjøsæter.
claimSaffron cod (Eleginus gracilis) are more demersal than Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) and polar cod (Arctogadus glacialis), and they maintain a more southerly and nearshore distribution.
claimIvanova et al. (2020) found that shipping activities alter the movement and behavior of Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), which is a keystone fish species in Arctic marine ecosystems.
referenceBenoit et al. (2010) studied the influence of photoperiod, seal predation, and landfast ice on the diel vertical migrations of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in the Arctic Ocean.
referenceGeoffroy et al. (2011) documented the aggregation of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in the deep Atlantic layer of the ice-covered Amundsen Gulf in the Beaufort Sea during winter.
referenceBouchard et al. (2016) contrasted the early life histories of sympatric Arctic gadids, specifically Boreogadus saida and Arctogadus glacialis, in the Canadian Beaufort Sea, as published in Polar Biology.
referenceBenoit et al. (2014) characterized the pre-winter distribution and habitat of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in the southeastern Beaufort Sea.
