Researchers applied a model from catastrophe theory to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) stocks. The resulting patterns of restoration reflect the combined effects of fishing pressure and temperature increase that limit the species’ recovery potential. These dynamics help to explain how multiple stressors interact to hinder a species’ recovery after its population has collapsed.
