Norwegian combined acoustic and bottom trawl surveys for demersal fish in the Barents Sea during winter
A combined acoustic and bottom trawl survey for demersal fish in the Barents Sea has been conducted annually since 1981. The main aim is to map the spatial distribution and obtain indices of abundance (numbers at age) of cod, haddock, redfish and Greenland halibut. In addition other biological infor...
