Black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo) in the Northeast Atlantic
The stock structure is uncertain. This section deals with a species distributed over a wide area which may be composed of several populations. Three assessment units are considered:
9.4.16.1 Black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo) in Subareas VI, VII, and Divisions Vb and XIIb
9.4.16.2 Black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo) in Subareas VIII and IX
9.4.16.3 Black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo) in other areas (Subareas I, II, IV, X, XIV, and Divisions IIIaand Va).
The last grouping is a combination of isolated fishing grounds. These areas are grouped due to their mutual lack of data.
