Researchers investigating the life of a cod discover surprising results

摘要

RESEARCHERS in the United States, who have been studying the movements of offshore farmed cod in a bid to learn more about the species, have announced some unexpected results. Scientists at the Cooperative Institute for New England Mariculture and Fisheries have been studying the motives behind the frenetic movements of cod farmed 80 feet below sea level. Due to the inaccessibility of their habitat, little is known about cod behaviour in the wild. However, by combining bio-telemetry and video techniques, scientists have been able to study cod in a setting that approximates their natural habitat.
