HMS Malcolm (F88) "Malcolm"s medical support was essential to fishing operations off Iceland. The Ministry of Defence decided not to replace "Malcolm" immediately, probably because the situation had calmed somewhat (1970 was between the first and second Cod Wars). Responsibility for supporting the fishing fleet was henceforth the Department of Trade and Industry's. The dispute ended in 1976 in a face-saving treaty and victory for Iceland. Two years later, "Malcolm" was decommissioned. She was considered too small to act as a modern frigate and therefore unable to continue service into the 1980s. HMS Malcolm (F88) HMS "Malcolm" was a anti-submarine frigate of the
Blue cod change. Since a number of evidence indicated that blue cod are relatively sedentary, the fishing pressure may lead to potential local depletion. Recent studies showed that the genetic differences were significant between mainland List of islands of New Zealand population and Chatham Island population. On the other hand, the differences within mainlandList of islands of New Zealand populations were limited while the pattern of the isolation by distance was detected. Further research using microsatellite DNA markers suggested that some significant genetic differences between mainland population exist which indicate the potential long-distance dispersal, but the dispersal rate is too low to
