| Considered a management unit: An aquatic resource or fishery is declared as [Fishery] Management Unit if it is effectively the focus for the application of selected management methods and measures, within the broader framework of a management system. According to the FAO Glossary for Responsible Fishing, "a Fishery Management Unit (FMU) is a fishery or a portion of a fishery identified in a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) relevant to the FMP's management objectives." FMU's may be organised around fisheries biological, geographic, economic, technical, social or ecological dimensions , and the makeup and attribute of a fishery management unit depends mainly on the FMP's management objectives. |
| Jurisdictional distribution: Jurisdictional qualifier (e.g. "shared", "shared - highly migratory") of the aquatic resource related with its spatial distribution. |
| Environmental group: Classification of the aquatic resource according to the environmental group (e.g. pelagic invertebrate, or demersal fish) to which the species belong. |
| Reference Year: The Reference Year is the last year considered in the stock assessment and/or fishery status. |

Management Management unit: Yes Advice Management considerations There is insufficient scientific information to establish the extent of putative stocks of ling. However, ling may be sufficiently isolated at separate fishing grounds to be considered as individual management units. On this basis advice is presented for the following management units: - Subdivisions I and II (Arctic);
- Va (Iceland);
- Vb (Faroes);
- IIIa, IVa, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XII, and XIV (other areas). This grouping is a combination of isolated fishing grounds and these areas are grouped due to their mutual lack of data.
Landings from all areas are presented in Table 9.4.10.1 and Figure 9.4.10.1. Ling is primarily fished in the depth range 200–500 m, though it is also found at shallower depths. This species is not believed to have such extreme low productivity and high longevity as “typical” deep-water species, but specific data for many areas are lacking.
