PORTLAND, Maine — November 8, 2013 — Researchers are saying the weather has caused unprecedented challenges for commercial fisheries in Maine.

Scientists said cod, for example, have disappeared from some gulf waters, and they aren't sure where the went.

"I came to Maine this year because the fish have pretty much evaporated from the cape where I fished for a long time," said Russo.
