What is the temperature of water does cod fish live in?

Cod fish typically thrive in cooler waters, with optimal temperatures ranging from 2°C to 10°C (36°F to 50°F). They can be found in deeper waters where temperatures are stable, often between 4°C and 8°C (39°F to 46°F). While they can tolerate a wider range of temperatures, extreme heat can negatively impact their health and reproduction.
