SUMMARY
SUMMARY
IDENTIFICATION
SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Gadus morhua
SPECIES NAME(s)
Atlantic cod
Cod west of Scotland is assessed as a single stock but at least two subpopulations may be present: a southern subcomponent with some exchange with the Irish Sea and a northern component which intermixes with the North Sea stock (ICES, 2013b).
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- The directed fishery is closed. Areas closed to most gears have been put in place to protect cod but a review may be beneficial in assisting the stock’s recovery.
