SPECIES NAME(s)

Greater argentine, Greater silver smelt

The stock structure of greater argentine is not known, but life history studies indicate that the Icelandic distribution (ICES Division Va) of the species might constitute a separate stock from that in other areas. It is currently treated as a separate assessment unit but genetic studies over the entire distribution area are needed (ICES, 2008a).
