Allometric growth in juvenile cod ( Gadus morhua) and possible effects on cannibalism
Cod juveniles of about 20 mm had the lowest potential predator: prey length ratio based on mouth gape of the predator and the body height of the prey. This implies that the cannibalistic potential is maximized in this size range.
