Fig. 1. Map of the study area. Top: German Bight with the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the North Sea, the current and planned Offshore Wind Farms (OWF) and 
our sampling stations for adult cod outside the OWF during summer (GB summer, red triangles) and winter (GB winter, grey triangles). Bottom: Sampling stations for adult 
“od inside the OWF during summer (OWF summer, yellow triangles) and winter (OWF winter, blue triangles) and the sampling stations for ichthyoplankton (ie cod eggs, 
green crosses) inside and outside of the OWF Meerwind Süd/Ost (framed in red), which is part of wind energy cluster 4 (shaded in grey, upper right). Highlighted by the 
number of eggs found and the estimated age of the eggs (in hours) are further the predicted spawning locations of cod. (For interpretation of the references to color in 
his figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
