Polar and Atlantic Cod Share Habitat, not Diet
Despite Atlantic cod and haddock extending further into Arctic waters, a new study reveals there is little competition for food between the invaders and native polar cod. However, it is uncertain whether climate change will increase competition between...
Climate Warming May Enhance Polar Cod Survival
Researchers have demonstrated that hatching in polar cod can begin as early as January in Arctic seas that receive large freshwater input, compared to April-July in seas with little freshwater input. Since early hatching leads to higher survival rates,...
“Healthy” Farmed Cod Undergo Extensive Pathological Changes
Doctoral research carried out by Mona Gjessing from the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science shows that pathological changes in cod differ from those found in diseased salmon, and cod that appear clinically healthy can nevertheless be affected by extensive...
Reducing Salt In Already Desalted Cod
A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València’s CUINA group has achieved a 50 per cent reduction in the amount of salt in already desalted cod, thus obtaining a final product that preserves all its sensory properties and is particularly...
Cod Fillet – Fresh & Nematode-Free
Nofima scientist Agnar Sivertsen has developed a new system for automatic inspection of cod fillets known as hyperspectral imaging. As well as detecting unwanted elements, the system can provide information about how fresh the fish is.
Combating Cod Fraud In Europe
Higher public awareness of sustainable fishing practices, led by environmental NGOs, may have helped reduce the incidence of mislabelled fish in the UK, compared to Ireland, according to a recent study which assessed levels of fish fraudulently sold as...
Reducing Cod By-Catch In Norwegian Lobster Fisheries
Researchers from DTU Aqua have decoded the behaviour of Norway lobsters and cod and used the results to develop a selective trawl. This so-called SELTRA-trawl ensures that fewer cod end up as by-catch in the Norway lobster fishery in the Kattegat.
Cod Mislabelling Disguises Cheaper Fish Products
Less expensive fish species are being labelled and sold as cod in Ireland, while the environmental impact of purchases is being concealed by product labels, according to a study published in the journal Fish and Fisheries.
Cod Behaviour Around Shipwrecks Revealed
Adult cod seem to have the entire ocean at their disposal, and yet each individual cod still chooses ‘their own’ local shipwreck, which they swim back to faithfully day after day. This is just one of the fascinating results from research using acoustic...
Handling Fish Correctly To Improve Quality
NORWAY - Research carried out by Nofima points to the fact that fish which is bled, cooled and stored correctly can keep for at least 24 hours before being gutted and still maintain good quality.
Invasive Comb Jellyfish Pose No Threat To Young Cod
The direct threat from the killer warty comb jellyfish to the Baltic cod population has been shown not to be so serious after all. Even though the invasive killer jelly feeds constantly, cod eggs seem not to be on the menu. In fact, if they accidentally...
New Techniques Could Speed Up Cod Processing
Testing of a new bleeding method in combination with superchilling has shown very promising results for pre-rigour filleted farmed cod.
Cod Stocks In The North Sea
Cod (Gadus morhua) is one of the most important fish caught by the Scottish fleet. This report looks at cod stocks in the North Sea.
Atlantic Cod, Genes And Plant Proteins
New studies of cod genes show that as much as 75 per cent of marine proteins can be replaced by plant proteins in feed for farmed Atlantic cod without triggering stress genes.
Better Farmed Cod
A new “recipe” from Nofima scientists significantly reduces the rate of malformations in farmed cod, resulting in welfare improvements for the fish and financial improvements for the fish farmers, says Wilhelm Andreas Solheim.
