Infographic 31.1.

-Refer to the graph in Infographic 31.1. Adult cod are quite large and live close to the sea floor. They eat a wide variety of fish, as well as mussels, squid, and crab. Their diet and early life-cycle stages depend on a seabed with a complex structure. Spawning schools of more than a hundred million fish have been observed, and the average female can spawn millions of eggs. How is it possible that in 1992 the Canadian government had to close the cod fishery?
