Abstract
This paper analyses the changes in length at age for North Sea whiting Merlanguis merlangus) in the period from 1980 to 1995 based on data collected by the International Bottom Trawl survey. The results show that length at age is larger for females than for males. This difference between the sexes depends on the area and does not change with time. For both sexes and in both areas there has been a significant decrease in length at age over time. The decrease is most pronounce for the older age groups
