Description
Summary:During April, May, and June 1971 several surveys for fish larvae were carried out in northern Norwegian coastal waters. No larvae of herring and almost no larvae of haddock were found. A few cod larvae only were observed, mainly in Lofoten in April. Just a few redfish larvae were found in April and May. In June larvae were observed in the area from Lofoten to Finnmark. In April capelin larvae were observed in small quantities between Lofoten and Sørøy. In May and June capelin larvae were abundant from Vestfjord to Varangerfjord with highest concentrations in Finnmark. The vertical distribution of capelin larvae indicate several spawning migrations especially in Finnmark.
