Cod, haddock, saithe, herring, and capelin in the Barents Sea and adjacent waters: a review of the biological value of the area
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-10-09)Cod, haddock, saithe, herring, and capelin are the most important fish species in the Barents Sea and adjacent waters. Ecosystem-based management requires species-specific knowledge of the biological value and vulnerability ... -
Growth of Barents Sea capelin (Mallotus villosus) in relation to zooplankton abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)Because capelin feed on zooplankton, the availability of the latter may be a limiting factor for capelin growth in at least some areas and at certain times. It was therefore hypothesized that a relationship exists between ... -
Heat in the Barents Sea: transport, storage, and surface fluxes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)A column model is set up for the Barents Sea to explore sensitivity of surface fluxes and heat storage from varying ocean heat transport. Mean monthly ocean transport and atmospheric forcing are synthesised and force the ... -
Trophic interactions affecting a key ecosystem component: a multi-stage analysis of the recruitment of the Barents Sea capelin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-10)The Barents Sea stock of capelin (Mallotus villosus) has suffered three major collapses (>90% reduction) since 1985 due to recruitment failures. As capelin is a key species in the area, these population collapses have had ...
