The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation and the Office of the Auditor General of Norway in 2006-2007 conducted a parallel audit of the Management and Control of Fish Resources in the Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea. The audit was performed in parallel in the sense that common audit questions and audit criteria were defined and the same outline was used for the reports. The two audit reports were written separately and on the basis of independent information.

Read more...Themes to consider when developing ecosystem based management
Although the largest commercial stocks are exploited sustainably, some of the smaller stocks are over-fished (chapter Current and expected state of the ecosystem - Overview of state and expected situation ). In addition, bottom trawling may have considerable effects on benthic organisms and habitats (chapters General background description of the ecosystem - Biotic components - Benthos; General backg...

The demersal fisheries are mixed, especially regarding cod and haddock. Usually the vessels are given specific quotas on cod and haddock. Even though discarding is illegal, when the quota of one of the species is taken there may be discarding of this species until the quota of the other species is taken.

Read more...Themes to consider when developing ecosystem based management - Impact of bottom trawling on benthos
To conclude on the total impact of trawling, an extensive mapping of fishing effort and bottom habitat would be necessary. In general, the response of benthic organisms to disturbance differs with substrate, depth, gear, and type of organism. Seabed characteristics of the Barents Sea are scarcely known and the lack of high-resolution maps of benthic habitats and biota is currently the most serious...
