Effects of photoperiod and exercise on growth, liver size, and age at puberty in farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) (2006, background): “Photoperiod treatment appears to be more effective when applied to Atlantic cod in indoor tanks than in sea cages (Taranger et al., 2006).”
Thermal dynamics of ovarian maturation in Atlantic cod (Gadus Morhua) (2010, background): “One applied consequence of this discovery is that considerable savings could likely be made in the cod aquaculture industry by replacing the current practise of continuous light (24 h light – 0 h dark) to prevent sexual maturation (Taranger et al. 2006) to obviously somewhat shorter day lengths to r”
Growth model for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua): Effects of temperature and body weight on growth rate (2007, result): “As it is of considerable interest to predict growth rates for cod up to about 5 kg the model results were tuned in accordance with growth rate results reported for cod reared in sea cages in Norway where the fish had ample space, high water quality and continuous light to prevent or delay sexual mat”
