The influence of temperature on some fish population parameters in the Barents Sea
At the beginning of this century it was clear that in the Barents Sea, variations in the physical conditions have a great influence on the biological conditions of fish. The cold period during 1977-82 initiated new investigations on the influence of oceanographic conditions on recruitment, distribut...
