The effects of sex, stock, and environment on the shape of known-age Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) otoliths from the Faroe Islands were investigated. Moreover, the feasibility of otolith shape analysis for stock identification was evaluated. The shape was described by using several normalized Fourier descriptors and morphometric variables. There were no consistent differences between the left and right otoliths and between sexes within different age classes, stocks, and environments. With our experimental design, we could evaluate the relative importance of genetic and environmental conditions (water temperature and diet regime) on otolith shape and morphometrics. Using otolith shape, cod individuals were significantly separated into Bank and Plateau stocks. Total classification success was between 79% and 85% between stocks and between 85% and 96% between environments for the different age classes. The significant differences in otolith shape between Faroe Bank and Faroe Plateau cod stocks provided a phenotypic basis for stock separation. Stock and environmental influences were substantial in determining the shape of cod otoliths.

<em>Abstract</em>.—The emerging use of genetic markers for stock identification is advantageous as this technique utilizes an inherent permanent mark, it eliminates stress associated with conventional tagging methods, and mark recovery is nonlethal. In controlled experiments, increased accuracy and reliability have been demonstrated with genetic tags, as compared to other commonly used markers. While a variety of genetic markers exist for fish identification, microsatellites are preferred because of their polymorphic nature and versatile use, including identification of population structure, measures of genetic diversity, and parentage analysis. Microsatellites provide a cost-effective tool for a variety of applications, including their use in complex experimental designs, as well as responsible genetic population management. We provide examples of the use of microsatellites as genetic tags in South Carolina striped bass <em>Morone saxatilis</em>, describing an experimental restoration effort in the Ashley River and a large-scale stock enhancement effort for the Santee-Cooper reservoirs.
