The spawning activity of cod, Gadus morhua L.
Abstract
Aspects of the reproduction of reared cod, Gadus morhua L., with special emphasis on the females, were studied under laboratory conditions. The fecundity and condition factor were 2–5 and 1–5 times, respectively, that of wild cod. A total of 18 spawning females were kept in separate tanks/ chambers, each with one or two males. Seven of the 18 females were classified as stressed, based upon behaviour, irregular spawning intervals and low fertilization rates of the eggs. The reared cod were found to spawn 17–19 batches. The number of eggs liberated in each batch normally followed a smooth, dome‐shaped curve with time. The fertilization rate was normally 100%. Egg size decreased from first to last batch and the egg dry weight decreased by about 20–30%. The reared cod showed the same egg diameter to dry weight relation as wild cod. Egg diameter of first batch and maternal fish length were significantly positively correlated. The mean spawning interval for the female and the mean water temperature during its spawning were negatively correlated. The reared cod spawned in both the night and the day for about 50–60 days.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
