Population structure of the chub mackerel (Scomber colias) in the North-east Atlantic inferred from otolith shape and body morphometrics
The Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias) is an important commercial fish species of the North-east Atlantic. Two-year-old individuals collected between January and April of 2018 at six sampling locations (45 fish per site) of the North-east Atlantic (Azores, Madeira, Canaries and mainland Portuga...
