The use of parasites as biological tags for discrimination of fish stocks has become a commonly used approach in fisheries management. Metazoan parasite community analysis and anisakid nematode population genetics based on a mitochondrial cytochrome marker were applied in order to assess the usefulness of the two parasitological methods for stock discrimination of beaked redfish  Sebastes mentella  of three fishing grounds in the North East Atlantic. Multivariate, model-based approaches demonstrated that the metazoan parasite fauna of beaked redfish from East Greenland differed from Tampen, northern North Sea, and Bear Island, Barents Sea. A joint model (latent variable model) was used to estimate the effects of covariates on parasite species and identified four parasite species as main source of differences among fishing grounds; namely  Chondracanthus nodosus ,  Anisakis simplex  s.s.,  Hysterothylacium aduncum , and  Bothriocephalus scorpii . Due to its high abundance and differences between fishing grounds,  Anisakis simplex  s.s. was considered as a major biological tag for host stock differentiation. Whilst the sole examination of  Anisakis simplex  s.s. on a population genetic level is only of limited use, anisakid nematodes (in particular,  A .  simplex  s.s.) can serve as biological tags on a parasite community level. This study confirmed the use of multivariate analyses as a tool to evaluate parasite infra-communities and to identify parasite species that might serve as biological tags. The present study suggests that  S .  mentella  in the northern North Sea and Barents Sea is not sub-structured.
