Working towards improved ecosystem conservation and fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic for Pew. Former fisheries lead at Fauna & Flora. Views my own.
Hey both, hard to find the right full overlay map but here's a comparison of the NEAFC benthic closures submitted as OECMs (red on left map) and bathymetry of same area (everything not white on right map is <2000m depth)

Wow. Atlantic cod are wild fish whose population should be determined by ocean conditions, prey availability + other nature-driven phenomena.

But instead, FOR *AT LEAST* 600 YEARS, fishing has been the main variable determining how many/what sizes of cod there are. Amazing paper.
