Several Pacific cod swim among smaller rockfish in Alaskan waters. The addition of data from the Northern Bering Sea to the Distribution and Mapping Analysis Portal (DisMAP) could help scientists better understand how the ranges of species such as Pacific cod are shifting in that region in response to a warming climate.

Several Pacific cod swim among smaller rockfish in Alaskan waters. The addition of data from the Northern Bering Sea to NOAA Fisheries' Distribution and Mapping Analysis Portal (DisMAP), which displays changes in distribution over time for hundreds of marine species, could help scientists better understand how the ranges of species such as Pacific cod are shifting in that region in response to a warming climate.
