Recruitment is the number of new young fish that enter a population in a given year. The size of fish populations can fluctuate by orders of magnitude over time, and five to 10-fold variations in abundance are usual. This variability applies across time spans ranging from a year to hundreds of years.

World map of fish and seafood consumption Historical development of seafood consumption. This list of countries by seafood consumption gives a comprehensive overview that ranks nations worldwide based on their annual seafood consumption per capita. Seafood includes fish and other important marine animals.
By 1968, landings for the fish peaked at 800,000 tonnes (880,000 short tons) before a gradual decline set in. With the reopening of the limited cod fisheries last year, nearly 2,700 tonnes (3,000 short tons) of cod were hauled in. Today, it's estimated that offshore cod stocks are at one per cent of what they were in 1977" .
