Biological investigations were carried out onboard the commercial freezing trawler "Kiel" in the Bear Island area in May/June 1995. Data will be used as German contribution to the assessments of the ICES "Artic Fisheries Working Group". Concentrations of cod were found southwest of Bear Island. Catches ammounted to 5-60 t/haul. Relatively good catches (5-25 t) with high proportions of haddock (40-80 %) were observed to the northwest of the island. Length- and age distributions as well as preliminary results of stomach- and gonad- investigations are presented.
