Abstract
This working paper describes the distribution and in some cases the relative abundance of several deep-sea fish species at Iceland. The information given is mainly based on deep sea hauls carried out during numerous research cruises since 1976.
The main species dealt with are: roundnose and roughhead grenadiers, blue ling, orange roughy, black scabbard fish, smooth-head, Rhinochimœridae, several dogfishes and sharks, e.g. black dogfish and Portuguese shark.
Biological information is given for some of the species. The roundnose grenadier is considered to be a self-sustained stock at Iceland. The spawning pattern of the blue ling is discussed and a possible connection between blue ling stocks at Iceland and the Faroes is mentioned. It is most likely that the orange roughy spawns at Iceland.
An extract from a recent deep-sea cruise to the Reykjanes Ridge, in March 1993 is included.
