SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Gadus morhua
SPECIES NAME(s)
Atlantic cod
Although their distributions overlap, Norwegian coastal cod is assessed separately from cod in the Barents Sea. However, further stock structuring between fjords is very likely so any smaller stocks and the genetic diversity they represent may be at risk (ICES, 2012a).
