Editing Haddock (section)

==Distribution==
The haddock has populations on either side of the north Atlantic but it is more abundant in the eastern Atlantic than it is on the North American side. In the north-east Atlantic it occurs from the [[Bay of Biscay]] north to [[Spitzbergen]]; however, it is most abundant north of the [[English Channel]]. It also occurs around [[Novaya Zemlya]] and the [[Barents Sea]] in the Arctic.<ref name="FAO" /> The largest stocks are in the [[North Sea]], off the [[Faroe Islands]], off [[Iceland]] and the coast of Norway but these are discrete populations with little interchange between them. Off North America, the haddock is found from western [[Greenland]] south to [[Cape Hatteras]], but the main commercially fished stock occurs from [[Cape Cod]] and the [[Grand Banks of Newfoundland]].<ref name = FAOCDR/>
