Putative spawning waves of Atlantic herring Clupea harengus were collected from 4 locations and genetically compared using 9 microsatellite loci. Shelf-scale (100s km) spatial differences were measured (max FST = 0.01, p < 0.001) and 1 sub-annual temporal difference (FST = 0.0058, p = 0.001) was revealed between spawning fish (predominantly comprising the same year-class) collected, 6 d apart, ...
