The effect of oceanographic conditiond on disrtibution and population dynamics of commerical fish stocks in the Barents Sea. Proceedings of the third Soviet-Norwegian Symposium. Murmansk, 26-28 May 1986. Data from egg and larval field investigations h the Lofoten area are used together with long time series of data on temperature and zooplankton in Lofoten and abundance indices of Arcto-Norwegian cod. The importance of environmental factors at the spawning grounds on the year class strength lis discussed.High temperature is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the production of strong year classes . Spawning of Calanus finmarchicus in Lofoten is strongly influenced by the temperature in the upper layer, causing large variations in the time of nauplii production. The peak spawning of the Arcto-Norwegian cod is fixed within a period of one week in late Marchlearly April and is very stable between years. The incubation period is influenced byo the temperature of the coastal watermasses which vary between 0.5 and 4.5 C, causing a maximum difference in peak hatching of more than two weeks.
