Does it make any difference to cod whether they are caught by a hook in their mouth or by a net?
Off the Norwegian coast, researcher Marco Vindas and his team are lowering cages, nets and longlines to find the answer to that question. Which fishing method is worst and which is best – for cod?
Now he has the answer.
New research should provide an answer to that question. -Historically, fish have hardly been considered animals, I think it is important to change that. If we see fish as animals, we might start to respect them more. That's what Marco Vindas says, who researches the behavior of fish, and is currently working on a world-unique project in Norway.

Few fish species are as interesting as sharks and rays. These ancient cartilaginous fish have existed and evolved in the Earth's oceans for nearly 400 million years. The Swedish species are no exception. They also attract attention and amazement.
