Did reduced recruitment contribute to the collapse of Atlantic cod? There survey results from six stocks of Atlantic cod do not support the hypothesis that the cod collapse off eastern Canada resulted from poor recruitment (Table. 1). Survey results of different cod stock in various regions, as depicted in Table 1, showed that the recruitment from the previous year classes that would have comprised most of the spawners during the year of the collapse was not significantly different from previous year classes recruitment. Further, of the six stocks, reduced recruitment was seen in mid-1980s in southern Grand Bank, northern Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Eastern Scotian Shelf. This may be due to the fact that spawners biomass was at a historical…

Methods Study Area East Harbor is a 291-ha back-barrier salt marsh and coastal lagoon located within the Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS), N.Truro, Massachusetts (Thiet et al. 2014a).

In 1894, a drainage system was installed that allowed freshwater to escape the system (Portnoy et al. 2006),…
