A synthesis of large‐scale patterns in the planktonic prey of larval and juvenile cod ( Gadus morhua)
Abstract Data from 40 published studies of the diet composition of larval and juvenile cod ( Gadus morhua ) from around the northern North Atlantic were summarized to assess generic patterns in ontogenetic and regional variability in the key prey. The results showed that larvae at the northern edge...
