ICES recommends that separate assessments and advice for i) the offshore cod stocks in Greenland and for ii) inshore fjord stocks of cod in West Greenland be provided in the future, based on information that suggests isolated reproductive populations in the fjords and separate populations on the banks. ICES is currently not able to estimate or provide guidelines for biological reference points for the two stock complexes due to lack of information.
