Survey data from six herring assesment cruises in the wintering areas for spring spawning Norwegian herring were analysed with regard to variation in abundance and

The ratio in abundance between four year olds and five year and older herring is on average 14:1 in the years when changes in wintering area take place, compared with 0.3:1 in

The maps showing catch of the four main prey fish in the survey area compared to feeding hotspots of fin and humpback whales, showed that capelin was most positively associated with

During June 1975 observations were made on the distribu- tion, abundance and year-class coinposition of capelin in the Barents Sea.. The distribution and abundance

The occurrence of predation was higher in 1992, but due to higher abundance of herring and lower abundance of capelin larvae in 1993, the impact of predation on

1 The proposed scientific programme implies sampling of minke whales with concurrent estimates of potential prey resources in 5 defined areas in Norwegian and

The reduction in the herring stock during the last years (ICES, 2013b) would affect the minke whale stock consid- erably, as minke whales overlap considerably with young and, to
