Resumen

Based on a 3-year mark-recapture study, evidence is provided of spawning-site fidelity in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) at a scale (<1 km) smaller than documented previously. Coastal regions where barriers to dispersal exist may allow for local population dynamics and adaptation to develop in broadcast-spawning marine fish at extremely fine spatial scales.
