Size class segregation of Arctic cod (<i>Boreogadus saida</i>) in a shallow High Arctic embayment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida (Lepechin, 1774)) vertically segregate by size class in deep waters, but such dynamics had not been explored in shallow waters. Spatial distribution of Arctic cod was investigated in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, Canada (74°41N, 94°52W) from 20 July to 5 August 2012, using a combination of hydroacoustic survey and direct capture. Hydroacoustic surveys identified two high concentrations of Arctic cod, with larger individuals detected on the west side, and smaller individuals on the east. Catch data confirmed size segregation, with fish sampled on the west side of the bay significantly larger (mean = 174 mm total length (TL); 35.9 g weight (WT)) than those on the east (mean = 110 mm TL; 9.2 g WT). Fish density on the west was estimated at 3.52 fish·m −2 , extrapolated to the full 0.52 km 2 of the surveyed shoal to ∼1 830 400 fish and 65 711 kg (assuming a 35.9 g mean WT). Smaller fish on the east side were more abundant (9.32 fish·m −2 ; total abundance ∼11 836 400 fish or 108 894 kg; mean WT = 9.2 g). Horizontal habitat-partitioning was observed between Arctic cod size classes over a small geographic area (∼8 km 2 ), most probably due to partitioned resources and to mitigate predation risk.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
