The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a predatory saltwater fish found in the North Atlantic Ocean and the seas of Northern Europe, including the Baltic Sea. It is a schooling fish that lives in deep waters. Cod and members of its family primarily feed on small marine organisms, especially small fish. Cod are characterized by a distinct pattern of coloration on their sides.
Cod are an essential part of the Northern European fishing industry's economy, but due to sustained fishing pressure, their population has significantly declined in recent decades. Despite this, they remain a very popular fish among anglers.
