Feeding of atlantic cod Gadus morhua L., 1758 in the upper sublitoral of Kola Bay in 2018

Presented data about nutrition of the Atlantic cod in the Kola Bay (Barents Sea) during 2018. Studies have shown that in the spring the food spectrum of cod is mainly represented by amphipods, and in the summer and autumn, copepods are often found in the stomachs (56 and 38 % respectively). The mass fraction of zooplankton in food bolus does not exceed 37 %. With age, the diet of cod changes, and the proportion of fish food increases. The selectivity indices of food objects were calculated.
