Identifying blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) stock structure in the Northeast Atlantic by otolith shape analysis

Information on stock identification and spatial stock structure provide a basis for understanding fish population dynamics and improving fisheries management. In this study otolith shape analysis was used to study the stock structure of blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) in the northeast Atlant...

In this study otolith shape analysis was used to study the stock structure of blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) in the northeast Atlantic using 1693 samples from mature fish collected between 37°N and 75°N and 20°W and 25°E.

Les résultats indiquent la présence de deux stocks situés au nord et au sud, respectivement, des divisions VIa et VIb du CIEM (de 54°5N a` 60°5N, de 4°O a` 11°O).
