Early stage eggs of cod (Gadus morhua L.) are impossible to visually differentiate from those of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus L.) or whiting (Merlangius merlangus L.). This project uses Taqman species specific probes in multiplex real-time PCR chemistry to distinguish between these three species as part of the Irish Sea egg production monitoring which aims to evaluate the status of the Irish Sea cod stock during the EU stock recovery program.
