The species of Apoqnmatulti'k: Punamu (Atlantic tomcod)

Apoqnmatulti’k (Mi'kmaw: "we help each other") is an NSERC-funded project that aims to increase the collective understanding of the movements and seasonal habitats of eel, lobster, and tomcod in Atlantic Canada’s Bay of Fundy and Bras d’Or Lake ecosystems.

Punamu (Atlantic tomcod/ Microgadus tomcod) are found inshore along the Atlantic coast of North America. In the colder months, adult fish will leave deeper coastal waters, travelling to estuaries and rivers to spawn. However, beyond this, little is known about the movements of tomcod.

Through Apoqnmatulti'k, valuable information is being generated to support the stewardship of this incredible species.
