Hypoxic areas, density-dependence and food limitation drive the body condition of a heavily exploited marine fish predator

Hypoxic areas, density-dependence and food limitation drive the body condition of a heavily exploited marine fish predator

Investigating the factors regulating fish condition is crucial in ecology and the management of exploited fish populations. The body condition of cod (Gadus morhua) in the Baltic Sea has dramatically decreased during the past two decades, with large implications for the fishery relying on this resou...
