• Trophic role of Atlantic cod in the ecosystem (2009, background): “1994) and the southern Gulf of St Lawrence (Swain and Sinclair 2000) that recruitment of cod is more successful when the biomass of planktivorous pelagic fishes is low.”
• Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “There is also a negative correlation between the survival and recruitment of larval and juvenile cod and the biomass of pelagic fi sh such as herring and mackerel (Swain and Sinclair 2000), which feature fi sh 50 Mechanisms for Allee effects”
• Extreme increases in natural mortality prevent recovery of collapsed fish populations in a Northwest Atlantic ecosystem (2015, background): “The remarkably high recruitment rates of sGSL cod in the late 1970s coincided with a collapse in the biomass of pelagic fishes (herring and mackerel) in this ecosystem and are thought to result from reduced predation by these fishes on cod eggs and larvae (Swain & Sinclair 2000).”
• Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “morhua Mate-finding limitation demonstrated, cultivation effect suggested Per capita population growth rate * zero in population reduced by overfishing Yes; overfishing Swain and Sinclair (2000) ;”
• Impacts of environmental change and direct and indirect harvesting effects on the dynamics of a marine fish community (2008, background): “…impacts have also been proposed to explain reduced recruitment success of southern Gulf cod as stocks of Atlantic herring and Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), potential predators of cod eggs and larvae, rebuilt in the 1980s following reductions in harvesting (Swain and Sinclair 2000).”
• Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “Seals may be suppressing the biomass of small pelagics (143), but the introduction of seal control would run the risk of negative public reaction and the possibility of consumer action, such as boycotts of seafood products.”
