The young stages of Norwegian spring spawning herring were observed in the south-eastern part of the area. A total coverage of the herring, especially the 0-group, was not attempted during this survey. The capelin stock was estimated at 4.3 million tonnes, 1.6 times higher than the estimate obtained last year. About 2.1 million tonnes were assumed to be maturing. The polar cod stock was estimated at 1.3 million tonnes, about 1.2 times higher than that measured last year and the highest estimate on record. The young stages of the Norwegian Spring Spawning Herring were partly covered during the survey. About 380 000 tonnes of one-year-olds and 560 000 tonnes of two-year-olds were found in the south-eastern parts of the Barents Sea. No attempt was made to assess the number or biomass of 0-group herring.
