Best Answer

They are still there albeit at a much lower yield than 25 years ago. It varies from region to region. This answer is for Atlantic cod, there is Pacific cod too:

Good stock size and fishery: Barents Sea, Icelandic shelf

Reduced stock size and fishery: North Sea, Baltic Sea

Low stock size, small fishery: Gulf of St Lawrence, southern Newfoundland, western Scotian Shelf, Georges Bank

Collapsed: Eastern Newfoundland, eastern Scotian Shelf

Probable collapses in the next few years: western Scotian Shelf, southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, southern Newfoundland
