HELCOM HOLAS II Dataset: Cod spawning areas (2017), retrieved from HELCOM.fi

Original Title

Cod spawning areas

Description

"Spawning area of cod in the Baltic Sea. The delineation of the spawning area is mainly based on Hüssy 2011. In addition, Gdansk deep (delineation based on Bagge et al. 1994) is included in the map, as it still sometimes contributes to reproduction of eastern Baltic cod stock ((Hinrichsen et al. 2016). Gotland basin has ceased to contribute to the reproduction of the Eastern Baltic cod due to oxygen deficiency and sedimentation related mortality (Hinrichsen et al. 2016)."
