This is despite experiencing different thermal regimes that could potentially lead to different rates of gonadal development and maturation [24], [25] in the south and suggests that southern coastal and frontal cod may have diverged in more aspects than habitat selection and migratory and feeding behaviour.
Nitrogen is nontoxic but causes harmful algae blooms that render waters inhospitable to marine life, affecting not only fin- and shellfish populations but the local and migratory birds that feed on them.
