Otolith shape analysis of blue whiting suggests a complex stock structure at their spawning grounds in the Northeast Atlantic
JP Keating, D Brophy, RA Officer, E Mullins - Fisheries Research, 2014 - Elsevier
Evidence from morphometric, meristic, oceanographic, genetic and otolith microstructure
studies suggest complexity in the structure of the blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou)
population in the Northeast Atlantic. However the boundaries between stock components
and the degree to which they overlap on the spawning grounds are uncertain. Blue whiting
are therefore currently assessed and managed as a single stock. This study uses otolith
shape analysis to provide further insight into the stock structure of blue whiting in the NE …
