Thermal reaction norms for larval Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) - Exploring population differences on a micro-geographic scale

It is important both from a management and conservation point of view to uncover the potential of a species to cope with climate warming, and whether this potential differ among populations. In this thesis I used Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), a harvested marine fish, as a model species to investigate...

Description
Summary:It is important both from a management and conservation point of view to uncover the potential of a species to cope with climate warming, and whether this potential differ among populations. In this thesis I used Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), a harvested marine fish, as a model species to investigate population differences in thermal responses of larval growth and survival on a very fine spatial scale.
