Extract

The whiting(Gadus merlangus L.) is an abundant food fish in waters to the west and south-west of the Isle of Man. As the stock is at times subject to intensive fishing it seemed desirable to study this species and possibly ascertain the effect of commercial exploitation on the biology of the fish.
