>>The fishery has been closed for a while...<< How long?

>>...and the cod are not coming back<< Give it time. These kinds of population recoveries are exponential functions. It takes a long time at first for small increases in population and then as that e to the x starts to kick in, all of a sudden population increases quickly. You will wake up one of these years to the report that cod on the Grand Banks are jumping into the fishing boats.

>>What never came back was the King crab fishery in South East Alaska<< Ditto. The population recovery curve is a function of reproduction rate, reproduction frequency and the incidence of predation. A species that was dominant in the past will be dominant again. But perhaps not on a timetable that suits us.
