Description
Summary:This report is intended as a rough overview of the status of the Barents Sea ecosystem in 2004, compared to a historical perspective. If possible the situation for 2005 is also treated. The aim of this report is to give background information for the ICES fishery assessment working groups on elements in the ecosystem, which may be of importance for the evaluation of the commercial fish stocks in the Barents Sea. Due to this focus the status of the fish stocks is not presented specifically, but instead important trophic relations are pointed out. NORSK SAMMENDRAG: Denne rapporten er ment som en grov statusoversikt over økosystemet i Barentshavet i 2004, sett i ett historisk perspektiv. Hvis mulig er forventninger for 2005 også vurdert. Målet til denne rapporten er å gi relevant bakgrunnsinformasjon om økosystemelementer til ICES sine bestandsvurderings- arbeidsgrupper, som kan være av betydning for evalueringen av de kommersielle fiskebestandene i Barentshavet. Fokuset er derfor rettet mot viktige trofiske interaksjoner, og ikke mot hver fiskebestand spesielt.
