From single species surveys towards monitoring of the Barents Sea ecosystem
The Barents Sea, a large, high-latitude shelf sea, has been monitored and investigated for more than a century. More than 1800 occasional expeditions have been organized both by Norway and Russia, and since the1960s the collaboration between the Institute of Marine Research (IMR, Bergen) and the Kni...
