A Report of the SARC 42 Assessment Working Group
The northern shortfin squid, Illex illecebosus, inhabits the continental shelf and slope waters of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and the east coast of Florida and constitutes a unit stock throughout its range. The species is highly migratory, growth is rapid and the lifespan is short,...
