"},"content":{"rendered":"Researchers used population dynamics modeling to assess the effects of size-specific and age-specific harvesting of Atlantic cod on Canada\u2019s eastern Scotian Shelf. They found that fishing to a depth of 80 metres accounted for 72 per cent of the observed age-related cod-habitat deepening, and increasing fishing depth to 120 metre accounted for all of the deepening. The effects declined during a moratorium on cod fishing in the area, suggesting that age-related and size-related habitat deepening observed in commercially harvested species may be a result of size-selective harvesting.<\/p>\n
