SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Homarus gammarus
SPECIES NAME(s)
European lobster
European Lobster populations between the Atlantic and Mediterranean do not show major genetic differentiation between them. However, molecular markers show evidence of four major distinct groups: northern Norway; Netherlands; remaining Atlantic area; and the Mediterranean (Triantafyllidis et al. 2005; Jørstad et al. 2005).
Marine Scotland Science considers twelve assessment units, each of which assessed and managed separately (ICES, 2013; Barreto and Bailey, 2014).
