Sammendrag
This report presents a study of possible changes in species’ spatial distribution in the Barents Sea
as a result of possible future changes in the ocean climate. Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are
constructed to describe and quantify the relationship between past distribution of species and
environmental conditions. On the basis of simple environmental scenarios, the same models are
used to project possible changes in individual species’ spatial distributions. The work was
conducted under the NFR funded project BarEcoRe: Barents Sea Ecosystem Resilience under
global environmental change.
