dc.description.abstract | 1. A discussion of the various scientific names used for the blue ling leads
to the conclusion that the correct name is Molva dypterygia (Pennant,
1784).
2. Meristic and morphometric characteristics are provided for two blue
ling from West Greenland and one from the Newfoundland area.
3. The morphometric and meristic characters of blue ling from the
north-west Atlantic specimens are usually within, overlapping or
close to the ranges of these characters for Molva dypterygia from the
north-east Atlantic.
4. The commercial statistics for ling in the ICNAF area are discussed
and attention called to some of the errors.
