 COD
The long and continuous exploitation of cod was due in part to the wide range of its habitat, and in part because the fish is rich without being fatty, with a significant amount of protein per ounce, and it could be easily and simply cured, either by salting or air drying.
This was particularly attractive to the Greenlanders, who were able to sell dried cod, commonly called stockfish, at twice the price to the English as to the Norwegians or their representatives.
The development of the cod trade also spurred the establishment of port settlements in North America and elaborate diplomatic and trade treaties between those countries involved in the exploitation of the cod fisheries and other products that could be sold on the continent.

 Cod biology
The cod is a cold-water species that is distributed on the continental shelves and in the coastal waters of the northern North Atlantic.
Adult cod prefer water temperatures from 2 to 8°C but is often found in temperatures up to 20°C. Young cod have special enzymes that act as anti-freeze, which enables them to survive in sub-zero environments.
Thus eggs and larvae drift to nursery grounds, juvenile cod migrate to feeding grounds and mature cod migrate to spawning grounds.

A reduction of the inflow of heat and salt to the West Greenland area during positive NAO phase from the late 1960s until the mid 1990s reduces the recruitment of cod larvae from Iceland.
Transport of cod eggs and larvae from the Southwest Icelandic spawning grounds to the Greenland waters is studied for the period 1948–2001 using model based particle tracking forced by a regional nested ocean model with horizontal resolution of 20–25 km.
