The relationship between vertebral number and water temperature in cod
An inverse relationship between water temperature during early development and mean vertebral number (<f>$$\overline{VS}$$</f>, includes urostyle) is established for cod populations throughout the North Atlantic, but the extent to which differences in <f>$$\overline{VS}$$</f>...
