Abstract
During May—June 1974 observations were made on the distribution, abundance and year-class composition of capelin in the Barents Sea. Good concentrations of capelin were found over a considerably larger area than at the same time in 1973.
Both the 1972 and 1971 year-classes show reduced growth compared to what can be considered normal, but due to the
large number of individuals in these two year-classes the total biomass is still at a reasonably high level.
Due to selective sampling by the trawl, no conclusion should be drawn as to the strength of the 1973 year-class.
A distribution map of polar cod is given.
