Description
Summary:understand and quantify the impacts of Arctic climate variability on trophic transfer and ecosystem structure of the Barents Sea in order to improve the prediction of growth and recruitment on the key fish species cod, haddock and herring. The project has a strong focus on process studies and development and applications on coupled biological-physical models. The principal objective of CLIMAR is to explore the coupling between climate fluctuations and the growth and migration patterns of the Norwegian spring-spawning herring in the Nordic Seas and particularly to investigate the impacts of climate change. Also this project has a strong focus on process studies and model development. ADAPT aims at quantifying the effects of the physical environment and population interaction for the evolutionary adaptation of the populations of Calanus finmarchicus and Norwegian spring-spawning herring in the Norwegian Sea. There is a strong scientific interaction between the three projects. They have a common focus on the population dynamics of the key species Calanus finmarchicus and how climate fluctuations and climate change influence the target fish species. Hence, the Norway GLOBEC aims right at the
