This cutting-edge project, led by ArcticNet, uses state-of-the-art fisheries sonar technology to map the distribution and abundance of Arctic cod and other fish in the offshore Beaufort Sea during the summer months. Arctic cod is the main food source for seals, whales, and birds in the Beaufort Sea Region and this study is important to supplement existing research into the winter distribution patterns of Arctic cod.
