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.
