Kolmuletokt - International blue whiting spawning stock survey spring 2007. Five research vessels representing the Faroe Islands, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and Russia surveyed the spawning grounds of blue whiting west of the British Isles, to obtain estimates of blue whiting stock abundance in the main spawning grounds and to collect hydrographic information. Blue whiting were recorded in most of the survey area that covered about 135 thousand square nautical miles. The highest concentrations were recorded in the area between the Hebrides, Rockall and Faroes Banks.
