Metode for lokalisering og verdisetting av gyteplasser i fjorder med dype terskler, åpne havbukter og sund

Abstract

Marine mapping of spawning areas for coastal cod have become increasingly important. Previous mapping have considered aggregations of mature cod. In this study we also evaluate distribution of cod eggs and their passive pelagic movement after spawning. This presents future methodology for mapping important areas in the spawning process. This study clearly shows the importance of incorporating egg distribution and water current.
