Tagging of pollack on the Norwegian west coast in 1979
Original version
This report is not to be quoted without prior consultation with the General Secretary.Abstract
In August 1979, 160 3-4-year-old pollack were tagged on the
Norwegian west coast at about 60°N. Recaptures were mostly within
5 nautical miles and not more than 20 nautical miles from the
tagging locality. The recapture rate of 23 per cent indicates
considerable exploitation locally. The results give no indication
of connection between the coastal pollack and the pollack in the
North Sea. There may be local stocks of pollack along the
Norwegian west coast.
