Two new studies led by the University of Iceland in collaboration with the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute uncover hidden stock structure in Northeast Atlantic blue whiting, a key species for ecosystems and fisheries. The findings highlight distinct subpopulations, migration–residency dynamics, and the need for adaptive management in a changing ocean.]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:43:00 +0000 https://www.hafogvatn.is/en/about/news-announcements/hidden-complexity-in-northeast-atlantic-blue-whiting-stock-structure https://www.hafogvatn.is/en/about/news-announcements/hidden-complexity-in-northeast-atlantic-blue-whiting-stock-structure
