As Arctic temperatures rise and sea ice diminishes, polar cod are facing significant challenges in adapting to their changing habitat, impacting marine ecosystems.

The Arctic region is experiencing notable warming, leading to the thawing of sea ice, which has traditionally provided a stable habitat for polar cod and other marine species.
With the reduction of sea ice, new areas are being exposed, which alters the ecological dynamics that polar cod have relied upon for survival.
This shift in habitat conditions poses risks not only to polar cod but also to the broader marine ecosystem, as these changes can disrupt food chains and species interactions.
