Answer:
it was 27x larger in 1982
Explanation:
The cod fish population has dropped in New England between 1982 until today due to higher mortality rate. The population of cod fish in1982 is 80000 metric ton of spawning stock biomass while on the other hand, the population of cod fish in 2011 is 2500 metric ton of spawning stock biomass. This lowering of cod fish population is due to higher mortality rate so we can say that the population of cod fish was 27x larger in 1982.
