The status of spotted wolffish, Anarhichas minor: A commercially ready species for U.S. marine aquaculture?
Abstract The requirements to rear spotted wolffish, Anarhichas minor , a cold water, demersal fish, native to the north Atlantic Ocean, have been developed over the past 25 years (since 1990s) and it now is commercially produced in one fish farm in Norway with additional plans for commercial develop...

Areas requiring further focus include reducing variability in gamete production; nutritional studies at all life stages; health expertise; genetic selection; and further refinement of standard operating procedures at the commercial level for all life‐stages.
