The Institute of Marine Research (IMR), Bergen, has carried out combined bottom
trawl and acoustic surveys for cod in the Barents Sea since 1981. Commercial statistics
are collected routinely for this area through the Directorate of Fisheries; the Institute
collects length and age samples of these landings. Also, the Institute of Fishery
Technology Research conducted studies of cod-end selectivity for Norwegian bottom
trawlers in the Barents Sea during 1989. These data are readily available and represent
the most comprehensive information describing the condition of the stock, and the
prosecution of the Norwegian bottom trawl fishery.
