*Gadus morhua* (Atlantic Cod) stocks in the Barents Sea are currently at
levels not seen since the 1950s. Causes for the population increase last
century, and understanding of whether such large numbers will be maintained in
the future, are unclear. To explore this, we digitised and interrogated
historical cod catch and diet datasets from the Barents Sea. Data includes
temporal and spatial information, cod catch data and length distributions, and
hydrographic data.

Seventeen years of catch data and 12 years of prey data spanning the period
from 1930–1959. Surveys were predominantly carried out in the western Barents
Sea and Norwegian Sea, but also included sites around Greenland, Iceland, the
Faroe Islands and the North Sea. Surveys have taken place during each of the
seasons, but especially during summer and autumn when ice cover in the Barents
Sea is lowest.
