• Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “The declines of cod reached such an extreme state in some areas, such as in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, that Swain & Chouinard (64) predicted extirpation in less than 40 years, even in the absence of any fishery.”
• Extreme increases in natural mortality prevent recovery of collapsed fish populations in a Northwest Atlantic ecosystem (2015, background): “For some stocks, declines have been so severe that they are considered to be at a heightened risk of extirpation, with extirpation predicted to occur within decades at current levels of productivity (COSEWIC 2005, Swain & Chouinard 2008, Benoît et al. 2011c).”
• Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean (2011, background): “, and has brought demersal fish, such as cod, to the brink of ecological extinctio”
• Natural mortality: Its ecology, how it shapes fish life histories, and why it may be increased by fishing☆ (2013, background): “, 2007), but concomitant changes in life history parameters (Swain, 2011; Swain and Chouinard, 2008) may indicate a role for fishing-induced adaptations too (Hutchings, 2005; Jørgensen and Fiksen, 2010; Swain, 2011).”
• Correlates of recovery for Canadian Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) (2011, background): “4, 5) which have declined to such low levels, and are experiencing such high levels of natural (non-fishing) mortality, that they are predicted to become effectively extirpated by 2050 (Swain and Chouinard 2008).”
