Abstract
Blue whiting Micromesistius poutassou mean total length at age in the north-east Atlantic Ocean was
found to vary by around ±6% during the period 2004–2011 and mean mass at age by ±22% during the
years 1981–2013. Linear modelling provided strong evidence that these phenotypic growth variations
can be explained by trophic conditions, mainly negative density dependence and also food availability,
and a negative long-term temperature effect on asymptotic size.
