Abstract
Analyses of meristic and morphometric data of sand launce in the Newfoundland area revealed that the Grand Bank and St. Pierre Bank specimens were slender with relatively short heads and high meristic counts whereas those from Trinity Bay and St. Mary's Bay were deep-bodied with relatively longer heads and low meristic counts. Consequently, offshore launce were provisionally assigned to Ammodytes dubius and inshore specimens as Ammodytes hexapterus. Differences in body form and meristics were also evident within the two groups.
