The sea water that provides seaweed with nutrients also carries bacteria, viruses, and fungi. As a defense against these organisms, it is thought that seaweed synthesizes an arsenal of chemical compounds, and these in turn can be used by garden plants.he sea water that provides seaweed with nutrients also carries bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Cod should be baked at about 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. This is more than sufficient cooking time since cod is a delicate fish and is easily overcooked. When in doubt, if the fish flakes easily with a fork it is finished cooking and ready to eat.
How to tell when itâs cooked: Use a knife to pierce the fish at the thickest part and check the flesh, it should be barely opaque and slightly pink in the center. If you press with a fork, the flesh should begin to flake easily. Internal temperature reading from the thickest part should be at least 145Â°F (though this is debatable, Iâve seen references as low as 120Â°F and as high as 165Â°F, it depends on how well done you want it to beâ¦I prefer it heated to 135Â°F. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of at least 145Â°F for fish.).
