Summary

The original distinction between the Gadiculus populations of the east Atlantic and the Mediterranean was made on the basis of differences in pigmentation and vertebral count found in the larvae. A comparison of adult fish from the two areas shows that there are significant differences in body dimensions and also in certain meristic characters, particularly vertebral count. These differences are briefly discussed.
