In order to evaluate the state of the physical environment several sources of information are used. Area surveys of temperature and salinity are conducted in January-February at the joint winter survey and in August-October at the joint ecosystem survey. The standard sections also form an important base for the evaluation of temperature and salinity. Especially the seasonal development is monitored at the Kola and Fugløya-Bear Island section, and at the fixed station Ingøy.

The bloom situation in the Barents Sea is covered on a regular basis both during the survey coverage in August-October and on the standard sections Fugløya-Bear Island and Vardø-Nord. From these surveys the chlorophyll concentration is measured in water samples taken from standard depths down to 100 m depth. This gives an indication on the primary production in the area.Last Updated ( Friday, 18 December 2009 09:17 )

Zooplankton biomass and species distribution is monitored during the joint autumn ecosystem survey. Joint Russian and Norwegian zooplankton investigations have taken place since 2002. Regular sampling by IMR began in 1979 while PINRO has conducted these surveys since in 1982-1993. A Juday net (37 cm in diameter, 180μm) is used to obtain zooplankton samples by PINRO. IMR uses a WP2 net (56 cm in d...

Yearly monitoring of the shrimps and the benthos community are done in the joint autumn ecosystem survey. The joint autumn ecosystem survey will also supply a historical benthic mapping started by PINRO in the early 1930’s, continued in the 1960’s and followed up from year 2000. In addition, basic mapping of the bottom animals in the Barents Sea is done in the MAREANO project, which started its ac...

Read more...Fish monitoring
Most of the area surveys mentioned above have monitoring of commercial fish species as their main objective. The different fish stocks and life stages are targeted at these surveys. In addition to catch data, the surveys are the main data source for the assessment of the stocks. Data on non-target fish species (abundance, weight, length distribution etc.) have also been collected on these surveys ...
