The scientific name, distribution and characteristics of the blue ling, Molva dypterygia (Pennant), from West Greenland and Newfoundland areas
1. A discussion of the various scientific names used for the blue ling leads to the conclusion that the correct name is Molva dypterygia (Pennant, 1784). 2. Meristic and morphometric characteristics are provided for two blue ling from West Greenland and one from the Newfoundland area. 3. The morphom...
