Population structure, reproductive strategies and demography of redfish (Genus Sebastes) in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters (ICES V, XII and XIV; NAFO 1)

Objective

OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
The present diverse project is developed to co-ordinate and support the international research activities directed towards the most important questions related to the biology and exploitation of the highly migratory and straddling redfish resources.

According to its title, the proposal is divided into the three main workpackages
1. "Population structure",
2, "Reproductive strategies" and
3. "Abundance and demography".

Workpackage 1: Species and population structure
This first and main workpackage of the project focuses on the species and population structure and the identification of possible distinct gene pools of the redfish occurrences in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters.

The identification and delimitation of the self-sustaining stock units is the prerequisite and basis for any management actions in accordance with the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) "Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries" and the UN Agreement on "Straddling and Highly Migrator.
