This paper records the unusual occurrence of the blue whiting ( Micromesistius poutassou ) from inshore waters of the west coast of Scotland from 1971 to 1974. The fish were O and I‐group and appeared to migrate into the area during the autumn and winter months. Data on growth, length for weight relationships and feeding are described.
