Workshop to Identify Cod Spawning Grounds and Juvenile Habitat in MA Bay,
April 2006
The MFP convened a one-day workshop with commercial fishermen to identify
cod spawning grounds and juvenile habitat in Massachusetts Bay. Information
on bottom substrata was also collected. The resulting data was used to
augment Dr. Jeffery Runge’s work on the flow of copepods and zooplankton into
and out of Mass Bay and its effect on fish distribution and abundance.
