Abstract

Trends in interannual variation in maturation and spawning terms of various age cohorts in the Eastern Baltic cod population in 1997–2009 were studied. Specific features in the age structure of the mature population part that were established by the end of the first decade of the 21st century were clarified. The role of cod age cohorts in the current population reproduction was considered taking into account the data on cod recruitment and fecundity.
