Summary: | No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Cod (Gadus morhua) and flounder (Platichthys flesus) are two key species of the demersal Baltic Sea ecosystem both ecologically and commercially. Cod in the Baltic has experienced huge changes in spatial distribution, variations in growth, mortality and abundance in the last 40 years, but still the environmental and the biological drivers that have caused these modifications are unclear. Much less is known for flounder even though it is predated by cod and could potentially compete with it for benthic resources. We have developed models addressed to explain the factors that have driven the changes in the spatial distribution of these two species in the last 25 years. The spatio-temporal overlap of the two species is also investigated and presented. ... |
