Based on the genetic information that has been analyzed in 2007, ICES presents advice for the following stock units of tusk:

9.4.12.1    Tusk (Brosme brosme) in Subareas I and II (Arctic)  

9.4.12.2    Tusk (Brosme brosme) in Division Va and Subarea XIV

9.4.12.3    Tusk (Brosme brosme) in Subarea XII, excluding Division XIIb (Mid-Atlantic Ridge)

9.4.12.4    Tusk (Brosme brosme) in Division VIb (Rockall)

9.4.12.5Tusk    (Brosme    brosme)    in    Divisions    IIIa,    Vb,    VIa,    and    XIIb,    and    Subareas    IV,    VII,    VIII,and IX (other areas). 

This latter grouping is a combination of isolated fishing grounds and these areas are grouped due to their mutual lack of data
