As it is known that in the Barents Sea hit content of sea surface layers beginning from 2000 to present can be defined as high and anomaly high level particularly in last 7 years. This caused of marine mammals great changes distribution, numbers and species structure here. In carrying out of research increasing of marine mammals numbers and regions meeting who inhabit in the Barents Sea all year around was brought. Increasing of time presence for animals who observe here periodically was recorded here also. Under that in our opinion climate change greatly influence to marine mammals distribution, numbers and species structure in the Barents Sea, and it can influence also to fish stocks as top predators. This reason in the paper will be presented results which in annual joint RussianNorwegian ecosystem survey in the Barents Sea about marine mammals distribution, numbers and species structure by specialist from PINRO and Institute of Marine ...
