what is a cool fact about antarctic cod
Like all fish, Antarctic Cod lay eggs that are then fertilized, and hatch.
Antarctic cod are often eaten by seals and orcas. These fish are also called the Antarctic toothfish and are eaten primarily by people.
Antarctic cod, specifically the species Notothenia rossii, can live for over 15 years in the wild. Their lifespan can vary depending on environmental conditions and predation. These fish are adapted to the cold, deep waters of the Southern Ocean, which influences their growth and longevity.
