COMMERCIAL CATCHES It has been recognised that the recent catches of grenadiers by EU-Portugal and EU-Spain in Subarea 3, previously reported to NAFO as roundnose grenadiers, correspond to roughhead grenadier (Alpoim et al., 1994; Power and Parsons, 1998; Junquera, 1998).

Beginning in 1990, more roughhead grenadier has been caught than roundnose grenadier (Atkinson, 1995).
