To conduct the research, 43 scientists from 26 international institutions reviewed 395 scientific papers on Arctic cod published between 1954 and 2023. They are also an important food source for Arctic marine mammals as well as for Inuit and other Arctic Indigenous peoples. While adult Arctic cod are described as resilient, eggs and young cod are especially vulnerable to ecosystem changes stemming from diminishing sea ice and warming oceans. “The designation of conservation areas and constraints on shipping can help alleviate climate change impacts on Arctic cod by limiting pollution and protecting key habitats. “Our findings emphasize the urgent need for action to mitigate climate change impacts on Arctic cod populations,” Geoffroy said.
