Article Abstract
A heteroplasmic tandem repeat (HTR) array occupies 100 to 300 bp of the mitochondrial DNA control region in the Atlantic cod, and recently we noted that the repeat appeared integrated in a polyadenylated mitochondrial long noncoding RNA. Here we provide a more detailed analysis of the mitochondrial HTR in the mitochondrial genome of 134 Atlantic cod specimens. We report all specimens to harbor mitochondrial HTRs in the control region, and identified 26 distinct variants among the 402 repeat motifs assessed. Whereas most specimens contained HTR profiles of 2-5 copies consisting of the same 40-bp motif, 22 specimens showed compound HTR arrays of at least two types of motifs present in the same mitochondrial DNA molecule. We found HTR profiles to be highly conserved between different tissue types of a single individual, and strictly maternally inherited in a mating experiment between parental Atlantic cod expressing different HTR profiles and array motifs. We conclude that mitochondrial heteroplasmy in the control region is very common in Atlantic cod, and results in length heterogenity of the long noncoding RNA lncCR-H.

Situated in the Westfjords of Iceland, Ísafjörður is an important place in the history of cod fisheries. This paper discusses the methodology of a weeklong workshop on the intricate connections between urban development and the Atlantic cod ( ) populations. The following topics were addressed: 1) the urban development of Ísafjörður, 2) cod's life cycle, and 3) Icelandic fisheries.

Chromosomal inversions play a crucial role in evolution by influencing phenotypes through the linkage of coadapted alleles. While inversions have been found across a large number of taxa, mapping and characterizing inversion breakpoint regions remain challenging, often due to the presence of complex tandem repeats and transposable elements. Here, we identify and quantify transposable elements in the breakpoints of the four large-scale inversions previously reported in Atlantic cod, leveraging on three high-quality long-read-based reference genome assemblies for the Norwegian Coastal cod, the Northeast Arctic cod, and Celtic cod ecotypes.

The improvement of the microbial quality of food products is one of the most important aspects of the world economy with a significant impact on the health of consumers. Due to the content of lipids, water, and proteins, meat is highly susceptible to degradation mediated by enzymes or microorganisms. Among the wide variety of animal-derived consumption products, fish is highly perishable and characterized by a short shelf life.

Fisheries and climate warming are two stressors known to induce evolutionary changes in fish life histories. While their independent effects have been well documented, their interactive effects are less charted, although likely important for sustainable fisheries management and conservation strategies. We investigated the evolutionary responses of the Northeast Arctic cod stock (Gadus morhua) to warming temperatures and fishing pressure using a mechanistic modeling approach.
