Description
Summary:Ecosystem dynamics and optimal long-term harvest in the Barents Sea fisheries. Proceedings of the 11th Russian-Norwegian Symposium. Murmansk, 15-17 August 2005. This paper presents the data on the character of distribution and the assessment of the number of marine mammals in the open part of the Barents Sea in autumn 2001-2004 by the results from PINRO’s aerial surveys using the airborne laboratory AN-26 “Arktika” and the annual joint Russian-Norwegian vessel ecosystem survey for pelagic fish including capelin and polar cod. The aerial surveys were carried out being combined with the vessel surveys and their tacks coincided or crossed in several points.
