The fifth ICES-coordinated acoustic survey on blue whiting in the
Norwegian Sea and adjacent waters was conducted from the end of
July to the beginning of September 1986. All together eight
research vessels from USSR, Norway, Farce Islands, GDR, Iceland
and Denmark participated.
The area from Skagerrak/Kattegat to the Barents Sea was surveyed,
and blue whiting was recorded over major part of the Norwegian
Sea, the highest concentrations found more to the south than to
the north.
