Evaluating spatio‐temporal variability in the habitat quality of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua) in the Gulf of Maine
Abstract Reduced abundance and contracted spatial distribution of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua , in the Gulf of Maine ( GOM ) may indicate large spatio‐temporal variation in their habitat quality. Season‐specific Habitat Suitability Index ( HSI ) models were developed to quantify such variation in the...
