COMMON NAMES
Capelin in the Iceland/Greenland/Jan Mayen Area
Capelin in the Iceland East Greenland-Jan Mayen area is considered to be a unique stock (ICES, 2015) for assessment purposes. Genetic studies were almost solely focused on large-scale differentiation between populations (Reiss et al., 2009). Some microsatellite data within the Northeast Atlantic were less conclusive in differentiating populations (Praebel et al., 2008).
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- Annual advice for the fishery is developed according to a harvest control rule (HCR) evaluated by ICES to be precautionary (ICES 2015) (Naalakkersuisut 2020).
