Purpose
The Arctic is transforming rapidly under the double pressure of climate change and industrialization. The Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) dominates the offshore ecosystem of Arctic seas, making up to 95% of the fish assemblage in the open sea. Several seabirds and marine mammals such as the ring seal (the main prey of polar bear), the beluga and the narwhal, feed primarily on the small Arctic cod. Hence, the response of this pivotal species to climate change will directly impact the services provided by the marine ecosystem to Inuit communities, such as traditional food, health, and clothing, inter-generation bonding, art, hunting revenues, tourism, etc.
