Answer:

Vestfjord – many cod (very dependent on calanus populations. Red area is reproduction area for cod. The calanus in lofoten are from the black areas and the norwegian sea. Pordanger – warm water sneaks around the coast and hets up the outer area but the inner area is very cold (arctic). Can have minus degrees in may – but is also very productive. Remember ekman where the water comes in and out (depenndent on wind and weather) but usually comes in on letft side. Outer areas have a lot of calanus, inner area has a lot of smaller zoo plankton species. (Big species prefer bi deep fjords and coastal areas.).
