Temporal and ontogenetic shifts in habitat use of juvenile Pacific cod ( Gadus macrocephalus)

Habitat use of age-0 and age-1 juvenile Pacific cod ( Gadus macrocephalus) was examined in coastal regions in Kodiak Alaska over daily, seasonal and annual scales. Catch data indicated highly variable recruitment to nursery areas, but a strong separation of distribution by depth among age groups. Ag...

Description
Summary:Habitat use of age-0 and age-1 juvenile Pacific cod ( Gadus macrocephalus) was examined in coastal regions in Kodiak Alaska over daily, seasonal and annual scales. Catch data indicated highly variable recruitment to nursery areas, but a strong separation of distribution by depth among age groups. Age-0 cod were most abundant in the shallows (
