Distribution, Abundance and Availability of Blue Whiting in the North East Atlantic

Results of surveys carried out over the last few years indicate that there is a stock of at least several million tonnes of blue whiting in the North-East Atlantic. The only known spawning area of blue whiting is to the West of the British Isles. In this area, the adult fish are concentrated during the late winter and spring months but they then disperse, a major part of the population moving Northwards into the Norwegian Sea. They return to the spawning grounds probably via the Faroe-Shetland channel, around February. This report is a summary of material from various sources, including work published by the Marine laboratory and Torry Research Station Aberdeen. It has been produced in order to collate the earlier published work with recently acquired reports from sources in Norway. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.

The cod ends were 90 mm x 120 meshes, 90 mm x 100 meshes, 110 mm x 100 meshes. All were diamond mesh configurations. The results showed small increases in the L.50 characteristics but overall the discard rates for each cod end were comparable. The trials were carried out with and without a small mesh cod end cover.
