Climate regime shifts and reorganization of fish communities: the essential fatty acid limitation hypothesis (2006, background): “…in the North Atlantic apparently plays a similar role in producing sudden transitions in ecosystems (Beaugrand 2004), although trophic cascades following over-fishing of high trophic level demersal fishes have also contributed to community transitions in the North Atlantic (Choi et al. 2004).”
The response of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) to future climate change (2005, background): “Recent work on the latter region indicates that major ecosystem changes have occurred with the increase of pelagics, the displacement of the large demersals with smaller ones, and a general decline in the overall community condition index (Choi et al., 2004).”
Filling historical data gaps to foster solutions in marine conservation (2015, background): “…been proposed as the cause of the dramatic shifts witnessed in demersal fish species composition in the northwest Atlantic, where large benthic predators such as cod (G. morhua) collapsed and forage fish and macro invertebrates considerably increased (Benoît and Swain, 2008; Choi et al., 2004).”
Migratory marine species: their status, threats and conservation management needs (2014, background): “On the Scotian Shelf in Canada a vast general change in the ecosystem structure and species composition has been driven by the removal of fish and resulted in the emergence of a completely different set of dominant species, mainly invertebrates (Choi et al., 2004).”
How cod shapes its world (2008, background): “A number of studies (DFO, 2003; Choi et al., 2004; Frank et al., 2005) have ascribed the lack of recovery of NWA cod following the fishing moratorium from 1993 to changes in environmental conditions (temperature, salinity).”
Long-term shifts in the species composition of a coastal fish community (2008, background): “On the eastern Scotian Shelf, commercial fishing and decadal variability in water temperature appear to have shifted the fish community from a demersalto a pelagic-dominated state (Choi et al. 2004).”
