Atlantic Cod in its Ocean Habitat
This marine scene features the Atlantic cod as it travels just above a sandy seabed. Known for its elongated body, prominent fins, and a small whisker-like barbel under its lower jaw, this bottom-dwelling fish is a familiar inhabitant of cold northern ocean waters.
Ocean Floor Feeding Habits
Atlantic cod spend much of their time near the seabed searching for food along sandy substrate. The single barbel on the chin acts as a sensory organ equipped with taste buds, helping the fish locate small crabs, mollusks, and smaller fish hidden in the sand.
