Abstract

Nevertheless, to improve our knowledge about stocks of cod species as well as ecosystems of the Barents and Norwegian seas necessary for development of the optimal strategy for sustainable fishery, we should intensify our efforts on the following issues both at the national, and bilateral levels: development of joint Russian-Norwegian model for the cod stock assessmetn based on the TISVPA approach; development of the agreed model for the fish stock assessment of spring spawning herring and other fish stocks in convention areas; improvement of techniques and methods of assessment and calculation of the Northeast Atlantic cod abundance, including satellite monitoring of both Russian and Norwegian fishing vessels.
