Vertebral and Dorsal Fin-ray Numbers in Atlantic Wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) of the Northwest Atlantic
From collections of Atlantic wolffish in the Northwest Atlantic (West Greenland to the Scotian Shelf) during 1950-67, mean vertebral counts increased gradually from the colder northern to the warmer southern areas (74.19 off Labrador to 75.29 on the southern Scotian Shelf). This is the reverse of th...
