You may have seen us mentioning “phenotype” before as it is such a common term in biology. However, it is not so much used in daily life so we decided to explain it in this infographic!
Be on the look-out for future “What is…” posts where we explain fish biology, common terms and all things fish 🐟

Valliant et al. studied where young saithe (Pollachius virens) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) live in waters that large nets and past beach seine surveys cannot reach. Comparing diver observations with years of beach seine data to better understand the depths the fish use and when they settle.

What fish can you find swimming between the algae in the rocky intertidal zone of Breiðafjörður? 🐟
Are these fish impacted by seaweed harvesting?🌱

Happy fishermen's day! 🐟
Fishing has always been an important part of Iceland's history & culture. So we celebrate fishermen on the first Sunday of June each year. In some towns you'll find boat rides on offer, free entries to museums & fishing competitions, sea swimming and concerts
