West Greenland fjords cod, Greenland cod
The inshore Greenland cod component was assessed together with the offshore cod stocks prior to 2012. However, multiple stocks are thought to contribute to the fishery in this region: south and east Greenland cod, offshore west Greenland cod and Icelandic cod, and methods for separating catch origin are being developed (ICES, 2015).
