Description
Summary:The uniformity in vertebrae number, brood strength and growth which has been shown to exist in young haddock from northern Norway and the Barents Sea implies that these areas are inhabited by one main population. The main spawning ground of this population is probably located south of Lofoten. It is to be hoped that future investigations (including tagging experiments) which are being planned, will soon give us further information of the life history of the haddock in this area.
