November 14 , 2024 14 days 157 0
  • In just a few hours, more than 2 million Atlantic cod consumed 10 million tiny capelins.
  • This feeding frenzy is the largest on record, both in terms of the number of fish involved and the area covered.
  • Each winter Atlantic cod feed on spawning capelin along the Norwegian coast.
  • The analysis has revealed 23 million capelins grouping together in a shoal that stretched for miles.
  • The shoal drew the attention of 2.5 million cod, which formed their own massive group in response and ate up 10.5 million of the assembled capelins.
