Roundnose grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris) in all areas

The scientific basis for roundnose grenadier stock identification is uncertain. ICES considers that management units could be split as:

Division (IIIa)

Subareas VI, VII, and Divisions Vb, XIIb

Mid-Atlantic ridge (Xb, XIIc, Va1, XIIa1, XIVb1)

All other areas. (I, II, IV, Va2 VIII, IX XIVa XIVb2)

The advice for 2009 is biennial and valid for 2009 and 2010 and is cited in the text table below (see ICES, 2008).
