	Arctic Change: Marine Ecosystem - Barents Sea
		The Barents Sea is the continental shelf north of the Scandanavian peninsula.

		The extremely high primary production of the Barents sea supports a rich biological diversity including some of the world’: most numerous colonies of seabirds such as puffin and guillemot, rich seafloor communities with kelp-forests numerous deep water coral reefs and a unique variety of marine mammals such as walrus, bowhead whales and polar bears.
		According to the Barents Sea GIWA Regional assessment report the most pressing issues for the Barents Sea ecosystem were identified as the overexploitation of fish, oil spills, radionuclide contamination, and the modification of ecosystems by invasive species.
		However, due to the expansion of the oil and gas industry in the region, as well as increased shipments of oil and gas through the Barents Sea, the risk of accidental oil spills is likely to increase in the near future.

	Barents Sea Atlas 1998
		For sea surface temperature in the Barents Sea the correlation radii vary from 180 km in winter to 270 km in summer.
		It is noteworthy that in homogeneous water masses of the Barents Sea, the correlation radii for the hydrological parameters approach values typical for the ocean (Ivanov, 1981).
		To illustrate the potentialities of using the CD-ROM oceanographic database to analyze the interannual variability of the Barents Sea, we consider thermohaline characteristics in the vicinity of Station 5 transect VI (71° 30' N, 33° 30' E) during 1898-1993.

	Barents Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a rather deep shelf sea (average depth 230 m), bordered by the shelf edge towards the Norwegian Sea in the west, the island of Svalbard (Norway) in the northwest, and the islands of Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya (Russia) in the northeast and east.
		Until the Winter War, Finland's territory also reached to the Barents Sea, with the harbor at Petsamo was Finland's only ice-free winter harbor.
		There are three main types of water masses in the Barents Sea: Warm, salty Atlantic water (temperature >3°C, salinity>35) from the North Atlantic drift, cold Arctic water (temperature <0°C, salinity<35) from the north, and warm, but not very salty coastal water (temperature >3°C, salinity<34,7).

		The Barents Sea waters are warmed by the remnants of the North Atlantic Drift, so that its ports, including Murmansk and Vardo, are ice-free all year.

	William Barents - Arctic Explorers - All Things Arctic
		The Barents Sea (formerly called the Murmean Sea) is an extension of the Arctic Ocean lying north of Norway and Russia.
		In northern sections of the Barents sea, the average winter air temperature is -13° F, but the Russian port of Murmansk remains ice-free in winter, partly because of the North Cape Current.
		The Dutch navigator William Barents, for whom the Barents Sea is named, is one of the more renowned of the early European explorers of the Arctic.

		Captain Robert Sherbrooke, VC By the Spring of 1942, Hitler had convinced himself that the Allies were planning an attack on Nazi-occupied Europe and that this attack would come through Norway.

	AW2002 Abstract: Lubinski
		Furthermore, the NE Barents Sea is strongly connected to the Arctic Ocean and the Russian mainland coast through ocean currents, including those that carry driftwood from rivers ranging from the Dvina (White Sea) to the Lena (Laptev Sea).
		Foraminiferal stable isotopes show that Atlantic water transiting the Barents Sea probably entered the Franz Victoria Trough from the south during the early Holocene, a path that is blocked today by a shallow sill.
		Lowered sea levels on the unglaciated shallow Kara Sea and Laptev Sea shelves during the early Holocene led to more northerly river mouths in the Kara Sea and may have disrupted the Laptev Sea polynya, an important sea-ice factory and formation of dense water on the shelf.

	Article 35 - Dolgov et al.: content
		The occurrence of skates (Rajidae) in the by-catch of trawl and long-line fisheries in the Barents Sea are described.
		The Barents Sea, like other Arctic waters, is characterized by a relatively poor biodiversity and by a large biomass of the dominant species, including commercial species such as cod (Gadus morhua L.) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus L.).
		For the entire Barents Sea, the average by-catch of skates in the trawl fishery was 10 kg per hour haul (equivalent to about 150–160 kg per day of fishing).

	On large outflows of Arctic sea ice into the Barents Sea
		Winter outflows of Arctic sea ice into the Barents Sea are estimated using a 10-year record of satellite ice motion and thickness.
		This southward flux of sea ice represents one of two major sources of freshwater in the Barents Sea; the other is the eastward flux of water via the Norwegian Coastal Current.

		Unfortunately, their mothers departed for the Barents Sea weeks ago leaving the pups with only their own individual stores of fat to sustain them.
		During their yearly migration, the mother seals usually stay with their pups and feed them until their pelts turn from white to grey--a sign that the pups are mature enough to swim and feed themselves.
		Notice there was much less ice in the White Sea this time last year as most of it was en route to the Barents Sea.
