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.
Step 3. Bake the cod for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Step 4. Remove the cod from the oven and serve. Spoon some of the baked juices on top of the fish.
