Past, present and future exploitation and management of marine resourcesin the Barents Sea and adjacent areas

摘要

During the past 20 years the total annual yields of fish in the area have varied between 0.5 and 4.5 million tonnes. Seven species and stocks, two pelagic (herring and capelin) and five demersal (cod, haddock, saithe and two species of redfish) make up the bulk of this biomass. The quantitatively most important species are herring, capelin and cod.
