Sexual size dimorphism and sex ratio in Müller's pearlside (Maurolicus muelleri)

From a series of samples from the Norwegian Sea and fjords, we demonstrate sexual size dimorphism in Maurolicus muelleri, and geographical variation in the degree of dimorphism. The dimorphism was smaller in the Norwegian Sea than in the fjord populations.
