Sammendrag
Cod is a traditional favourite with British consumers, but
supplies have fallen dramatically through the 1960's and 70's
as a result of imposed fishing limitations. Maintenance of
supplies for the future will depend on efficient stock management
or perhaps fish farming.
Cod larvae can now be reared in the hatchery using techniques
similar to those developed for turbot and sea bass.
Growth to market size is rapid at ambient temperatures in the
range 5-15 degrees C. Technically cod farming is possible, but economic
projections indicate a production cost above the current
quayside price for cod and suggest it would not be profitable.
Small operations with access to cheap food and specialisist
markets exist and appear viable.
