Human activities/impacts

Other human impact. Aquaculture

Thursday, 03 December 2009 17:41 A. B Storeng (DN), O. Korneev (SMG), A.L.Sørensen (DN), K. L. Gabrielsen (UiTØ-MARBANK), B. Baik – (Fiskeridirektoratet-Finnmark)

As described in chapter General background description of the ecosystem - Ecosystem interactions - Human impact, aquaculture may affect the ecosystem when farmed fish escape and interact with native fish, through spread of pathogens and through pollution.

Other human impact. Bio-prospectation

Thursday, 03 December 2009 17:40 A. B Storeng (DN), O. Korneev (SMG), A.L.Sørensen (DN), K. L. Gabrielsen (UiTØ-MARBANK), B. Baik – (Fiskeridirektoratet-Finnmark)

As described in chapter General background description of the ecosystem - Ecosystem interactions - Human impact, bio-prospectation does not have impact on the ecosystem in the Barents Sea today.

Other human impact. Tourism

Thursday, 03 December 2009 17:38 A. B Storeng (DN), O. Korneev (SMG), A.L.Sørensen (DN), K. L. Gabrielsen (UiTØ-MARBANK), B. Baik – (Fiskeridirektoratet-Finnmark)

As described in chapter General background description of the ecosystem - Ecosystem interactions - Human impact, cruise-ship tourism may have impact on behaviour of marine mammals. Due to expected climatic changes that will open new area for sailing because of ice melting, one can also expect increasing pressure from tourism in this open area.

Maritime transport. Expected development (during the next 5 years)

Thursday, 03 December 2009 17:36 A.B.Storeng (DN). O. Korneev (SMG), A. Bambulyak (Akvaplan-niva, Barents), B. Frantzen, (Bioforsk), S. Lunde, (KV), O.K. Bjerkemo, (KV), R. Vogsholm (KV) , J.H. Koefoed (sjøfartsdirektoratet)

Future shipping activities depend considerably on the expansion rate of the oil-and-gas related industry in the northern areas, which in turn depends on both regional and global economic developments. Global warming and a subsequent increase of ice-free shipping routes through Arctic waters could also significantly contribute to increase shipping traffic.

Maritime transport. Introduction of alien species, through fouling of the hull or discharge of ballast water

Thursday, 03 December 2009 17:35 A.B.Storeng (DN). O. Korneev (SMG), A. Bambulyak (Akvaplan-niva, Barents), B. Frantzen, (Bioforsk), S. Lunde, (KV), O.K. Bjerkemo, (KV), R. Vogsholm (KV) , J.H. Koefoed (sjøfartsdirektoratet)

As described in chapter General background description of the ecosystem - Biotic components - Rare and threatened species, alien species introduced through ballast water or on hulls can have large impacts on ecosystems.
