The OBIS collection is a subset of this dataset containing species presence distribution information (no abundance or biomass estimates).
This OBIS product reports the tagging/release of cod in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Though there have been detections by OTN (Ocean Tracking Network) acoustic receivers, these are currently being used for in-progress research.
This dataset is the OBIS version of the Shippagan, New Brunswick cod tagging project. These data are for display on the OBIS portal and associated mapping programs and for download for end-user analysis. more
The objectives of this project are first to study the seasonal migration of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence and secondly to examine possible interaction between cod and grey seal (Halichoerus grypus). Cod were caught and tagged at Miscou Bank in the spring and lines of receivers were installed off Northwestern Cape Breton to intercept cod migrating out of the Gulf in the fall and back into the Gulf in the spring.
