Abstract

Beaked redfish inhabits North Atlantic waters in the depth range 100–950 m, over the continental shelf, slope and the open ocean. Individuals can live demersal or pelagic, at various stages of their life cycle. The geographical distribution of the species extends to most of the Atlantic waters from Newfoundland and the Labrador basin in the west to the Barents Sea in the east. Monitoring beaked redfish is challenging because of the species wide geographical distribution and large scale migrations; deep distribution, which complicates trawling and hydroacoustic surveys; difficulties with tagging; and persistent difficulties in taxonomic identification. These challenges make it a particularly problematic species to observe with conventional research methods. We review these key challenges and provide recommendations for the coordinated observation of Sebastes mentella in the North Atlantic that would best contribute to the assessment and ecological research on this species.
