"Atlantic cod The Atlantic cod (""Gadus morhua"") is a benthopelagic fish of the family Gadidae, widely consumed by humans. It is also commercially known as cod or codling. Dry cod may be prepared as unsalted stockfish, as cured salt cod or clipfish. In the western Atlantic Ocean, cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and around both coasts of Greenland and the Labrador Sea; in the eastern Atlantic, it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Sea of the Hebrides, areas around Iceland and the"

"After separating the females, the eggs are incubated in a temperature controlled tank for about 14 days until hatching. The baby cod or 'larvae' are then transferred to larval tanks. During this stage the larvae are feed yolk from a yolk sack for 3 to 4 days. After this period, once the larvae have grown large enough, they are fed tiny plank-tonic animals (ground plankton). Then after a duration of 35 to 40 days of being fed plank-tonic animals, the larvae should have undergo metamorphosis and are now considered fish. They are removed from the larval tanks and put into"

The male inverts himself beneath the female, and the pair swim in circles while spawning. The eggs are planktonic and hatch between eight and 23 days, with larva reaching in length. This planktonic phase lasts some ten weeks, enabling the young cod to increase its body weight by 40-fold, and growing to about .
