===Swimming=== Atlantic cod have been recorded to swim at speeds of a minimum of {{cvt|2|-|5|cm/s|kn}} and a maximum of {{cvt|21|-|54|cm/s|kn}} with a mean swimming speed of {{cvt|9|-|17|cm/s|kn}}. In one hour, cod have been recorded to cover a mean range of {{cvt|99|to|226|m}}. Swimming speed was higher during the day than at night. This is reflected in the fact that cod more actively search for food during the day. Cod likely modify their activity pattern according to the length of daylight, thus activity varies with time of year.<ref name=Lokkeborg>{{cite journal|last=LØKKEBORG|first=SVEIN|s2cid=25607249|title=Feeding behaviour of cod, Gadus morhua: activity rhythm and chemically mediated food search|journal=Animal Behaviour|date=1 August 1998|volume=56|issue=2|pages=371–378|doi=10.1006/anbe.1998.0772|pmid=9787028}}</ref>
