Growth and maturation of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in Icelandic waters
Growth and maturation of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), in Icelandic waters have shown considerable spatial and temporal variation in the past several decades. After 1988 haddock have matured much earlier than in earlier decades and haddock in some areas appear to mature young and also show stu...
