Evolution, invasion, admixture, and introgression among the Gadids. The Arctic and Polar cod is an outgroup of the Gadids, which are marine fish supporting most important fisheries in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. A few million years ago an ancestral lineage of Atlantic cod invaded the Pacific Ocean and evolved to become Pacific cod. Slightly later, another invasion of an ancestral Atlantic cod into the Pacific Ocean evolved to become the walleye pollock shifting its niche by getting genes for adaptation through admixture and introgression from other species. Much later Pacific cod re-invaded the Atlantic Ocean at Western Greenland evolving into Greenland cod, also acquiring genes through introgression. These fish are ecological success stories and their ecological success, in turn, translates into their ability to support important commercial fisheries. Their ability to invade and expand into new habitats and become ecologically successful may depend on genes acquired through adaptive introgression or hybrid speciation. The ongoing climate warming, Northern hemisphere ice melting, and the opening of the Arctic predict species interchange between the North Pacific and the North Atlantic. This study shows that the potential exists for further hybridization of Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic species, with unknown consequences for biodiversity.
