Specific growth rates and survival were not significantly different among the pelagic juveniles of three electrophoretically distinguishable stocks of Norwegian cod ( Gadus morhua ), co-reared in four replicate 5.2 m3 mesocosms, from hatch to day 38 or day 43 post-hatch. Arcto-Norwegian cod (AC, the...
