Cod fishery

The cod fishery involves the harvesting of Atlantic cod, a key species in marine ecosystems and commercial fishing. Historically, it has been a vital industry for countries like Canada and Norway, providing a major source of seafood and economic stability. The fishery operates through large-scale fishing boats using nets and trawls to catch cod in oceans. Overfishing has led to significant declines in cod populations, prompting management efforts such as quotas and protected areas to ensure sustainable practices. The cod fishery plays a crucial role in global seafood supply and marine conservation initiatives.
