Behavioural changes of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua) after marine boulder reef restoration: Implications for coastal habitat management and Natura 2000 areas
Abstract While marine reefs are degraded globally, the responses of fish to marine reef restoration remain uncertain, particularly in temperate waters. This study measured the effect of marine boulder reef restoration on the behaviour of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L., in a Natura 2000 area using aco...
