The 1976 year class of capelin is similar to last year with respect to both the area of distribution and abundance. As mentioned in last year's report improved sampling techniques

The 0-group cod was distributed in two separated areas as in 1982, north of the Finnmark and Murman coast and west of Spitsbergen. Two different indices of year class strength are

Although the results from the Barents Sea 0-group survey have not given a reliable index of year class strength of capelin, it is evident that the 1988 yearclass is stronger than
