Atlantic saithe (Pollachius virens) and Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) represent two of the most abundant and ecologically important fish species in the Northeast Atlantic. The two species co-occur in the Vesterålen/Lofoten area during the wintering of herring, but the temporal...
