Climate change and the migratory pattern for Norwegian spring-spawning herring : implications for management
Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) has been an important source of food for centuries, mainly for Norway, Iceland and Russia, but also for other European countries. Herring is a migratory fish stock, and during the last 50 years the migratory pattern has changed several times. There...
