SUMMARY

IDENTIFICATION

SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)

Molva molva

SPECIES NAME(s)

Ling

COMMON NAMES

Langa

A recent first study on population genetic structure of ling (Molva molva) in the Northeast Atlantic confirms ICES’ assumption of limited mixing and thus separate ‘assessment units’ at Iceland (Area Va), Norwegian Coast (Area II), and Faroe Islands (Area Vb) (ICES, 2014a).


ANALYSIS

Strengths
  • Progress has been done in assessment units identification using genetic analyses of ling (Molva molva) in the Northeast Atlantic.
