Before fishing, these traits (maturing early, when female cod would not be attracted to the male, and would not be able to breed as quickly) would be a negative mutation.
But I guess that mutation for early breeding is now positive. Huh.

Cod and evolution are mutually exclusive! When will you ichtheistic evolutionists stop trying to have it both ways?
