Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima (2010, background): “Recent studies have suggested that the range of cod in the NE Atlantic will contract as mean water temperatures increase as a consequence of climate change (Blanchard et al. 2005, Drinkwater 2005).”
Spatial analysis shows that fishing enhances the climatic sensitivity of marine fishes (2008, background): “Because the geographic extent of marine populations may be correlated with population size (Swain and Sinclair 1994; Marshall and Frank 1995; Blanchard et al. 2005), we control for abundance and test for the partial correlation between the mean latitude (or boundaries) and SSTs.”
Linking temperate demersal fish species to habitat: scales, patterns and future directions (2013, methodology): “2010) and as surrogates for habitat suitability (Blanchard et al. 2005), this approach may be misleading depending on the scale of observation and the system under analysis (Chapman et al.”
Fishing effects on age and spatial structures undermine population stability of fishes (2009, background): “Several studies have indicated that fishing, in addition to reducing fish abundance, often causes shrinkage in the spatial distribution of exploited fishes (Swain and Sinclair 1994; Marshall and Frank 1995; Blanchard et al. 2005).”
