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. Survey took place between 15/02/1950 and 22/02/1950 on Ernest Holt Equipment used during this survey : Otter Trawl 78ft Granton Arctic bobbins wooden otter boards Survey operations were undertaken on 26 stations 8 different species were caught on this survey
