Environmental conditions such as water temperature and ambient light level are expected to exert a strong influence on the natural behaviour and bottom trawl catchability of marine groundfish species such as Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). In this thesis, I use acoustic telemetry to investigate this pr...
