A diver approaches a large (presumably female) cod (Gadus morhua) in a kelp forest. This cod were gathered in early spring off the north coast of Iceland to spawn. Photographed during a two week break in fishing (to allow the fish to spawn), although this fish shows sign of a previous encounter with a net. Water temperature 1˚C. Thorshofn, Iceland. North Atlantic Ocean. Model released.
