Cooperation in marine research between Russia and Norway at the dawn of the 20th century. - ICES Marine Science Symposia, 215: 73-86. Russia and Norway exploit, to a large extent, the same living marine resources in the Barents and Norwegian Seas. At the end of the 19th century, Russian and Norwegian traditional fisheries were still confined to coastal areas and were subjected to natural disasters and fluctuations in abundance of fish stocks. It was realized in both coun­ tries that marine and fisheries-related research had to be extended seawards. A real breakthrough in marine research development was the construction of the first research vessels especially designed for marine and fisheries studies, the RV "Andrei Pervozwarmy" in Russia in 1899 and the RV "Michael Sars" in Norway in 1900. There were two great scientists who succeeded in building the research vessels for high-seas fisheries research - Nikolai Knipowitseh in Russia and Johan Hjort in Norway. They were good friends and had a common understanding of the necessity of cooperation between the two countries in marine and fisheries investigations in the Barents and Norwegian Seas. Coordination of efforts and standardization of methods and equip­ ment used on board the research vessels were achieved as a result of fruitful discus­ sions between the two leading scientists. The RV "Michael Sars" performed regular oceanographic and fisheries observations in the Norwegian Sea, and the RV "Andrei Pervozwanny" did the same in the Barents Sea at the dawn of the 20th century. The surveys by these two vessels helped to reveal the basic structure of the circulation pat­ tern and migration of cod, herring, and other food fish in the Barents and Norwegian Seas, and demonstrated the great potential for fisheries in the open ocean. The coordinated studies also illustrated the necessity for conducting accurate scientific investigations before any practical recommendations for the fishing industry could be produced.

A description of some major scientific controversies prior to 1914 that influenced the development of Hjort's thinking is presented. Particular attention is given to the difficulties encountered with the migration theory (which explained interannual fluctuations in fisheries landings in the North Atlantic) and the debate on local populations, overfishing, and the role of hatcheries in increasing yields from marine fisheries. The steps leading to his classic 1914 paper are summarized and highlights of the 1914 paper are discussed. It is concluded that Hjort’s work between 1893 and 1917 led to a shift in emphasis from adult migration to early life history processes in the study of interannual fluctuations in yield. P.

  • 1. Canadian Marine SCIENCE from Before Titanic to the Establishment of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in 1962 Eric L. Mills
    HISTORICAL ROOTS 1. CANADIAN MARINE SCIENCE FROM BEFORE TITANIC TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BEDFORD INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY IN 1962 Eric L. Mills SUMMARY Beginning in the early 1960s, the Bedford Institute of Oceanography consolidated marine sciences and technologies that had developed separately, some of them since the late 19th century. Marine laboratories, devoted mainly to marine biology, were established in 1908 in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, and Nanaimo, British Columbia, and it was in them that Canada’s first studies in physical oceanography began in the early 1930s and became fully established after World War II. Charting and tidal observation developed separately in post-Confederation Canada, beginning in the last two decades of the 19th century, and becoming united in the Canadian Hydrographic Service in 1924. For a number of scientific and political reasons, Canadian marine sciences developed most rapidly after World War II (post-1945), including work in the Arctic, the founding of graduate programs in oceanography on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the reorientation of physical oceanography from the federal Fisheries Research Board to the federal Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, increased work on marine geology and geophysics, and eventually the founding of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, which brought all these fields together. Key words: Canadian marine science, Atlantic and Pacific biological stations, charting, tides, hydrography, post-World War II developments, origin of BIO. E-mail: [email protected] The Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) opened formally in 1962 Europe decades before. The result, achieved with the help of university (Fig. 1), bringing together scientists and technologists who had worked in biologists, was an organizational structure, the Board of Management of fields as diverse as physical oceanography, hydrographic charting, marine the Biological Station (became the Biological Board of Canada in 1912), geology, and marine ecology.

  • Region Building and Identity Formation in the Baltic Sea Region
    IJIS Volume 3 REGION BUILDING AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN THE BALTIC SEA REGION ∗ Imke Schäfer Abstract This paper examines the concept of “new region building” in the Baltic Sea region with emphasis on the construction of a collective “Baltic” identity. Possible implications of these processes on Russia as a non-EU member state are discussed. Region building around the Baltic Sea is conceptualised within the framework of social constructivism, and a connection between region building and identity formation is established. Furthermore, an attempt is made to shed light on the way in which a “Baltic identity” is promoted in the region. By means of a short discourse analysis, certain characteristics of the Baltic Sea region are discovered that are promoted as the basis for a regional identity by various regional actors. The impact of these characteristics on relations between Russia, the EU and the other Baltic Sea states are examined and conclusions are drawn in relation to the region building processes in the Baltic Sea area. INTRODUCTION Cooperation in the Baltic Sea region (BSR) has prospered since the independence of the Baltic States in the beginning of the 1990s. Several programmes and initiatives have been established, such as the Northern Dimension initiative (ND), the Council of Baltic Sea States (CBSS) or the Baltic Sea States Subregional Cooperation (BSSSC). The EU actively supports cooperation in this region. In 1997, at the Luxembourg European Council, Finland’s Northern Dimension initiative (ND) was recognized as part of the

For a start, the nature of the way they operate subjects them to a huge amount of vibration, not to mention the impact of constantly operating in harsh weather. But conversely, as Albert Hagander, technical manager of the Swedish Maritime Administration’s Shipping Management Department, points out, there is actually a weather-related advantage in that the vessels are not usually in service during the summer. “You really can’t do much when they’re in service simply because of the weather conditions, often with ice on deck,” he points out. “In the summer, it’s often a better situation than with a conventional vessel, as you have the time to work on them while they’re alongside the dock or even in dry dock.” The Administration operates four big icebreakers plus a slightly smaller one for Lake Vänern that supplements the capability during the early or late season. That the icebreakers are vital can be seen from the fact that 95% of Swedish export/import trade is seaborne.

  • Fartøyene Og Mennene Som Ga Dem Navn
    Fartøyene og mennene som ga dem navn ... 1 G.O. Sars Innhold Havforskningsinstituttet i dag 1-9 Mennene som ga fartøyene navn 10-30 Dagens flåte 30-40 Teksten bygger på en tidligere publikasjon skrevet av Per Solemdal og Sigmund Myklevoll. Revidert i 2008 av Erling Bakken og Ingunn Bakketeig. 2 Havforskningsinstituttet i dag Havforskningsinstituttets oppgaver Havforskningsinstituttets visjon er ”Kunnskap og råd for rike og rene hav- og kystområder”. Dette betyr at vi skal utføre forskningsoppdrag som kan gi myndig- heter, næring og samfunn et bredt og pålitelig grunnlag for forvaltning av våre marine økosystemer. Målet for forvaltningen er å verne det marine miljøet og sikre et langsiktig, godt utbytte fra fiskebestandene, andre levende ressurser og fra havbruket. Økosystemene og miljøforholdene krever at en slik forvaltning baseres på et utstrakt internasjonalt samarbeid, både på forsker- og myndighetsnivå. En viktig del av forskningen er rettet mot bestander som danner grunnlaget for norske fiskerier. Ved å overvåke endringer og stadig forbedre kunnskapen, blir beregninger av bestandenes produksjon mer pålitelig og forvaltningen derfor bedre. Miljøforskningen har også en bred plass, både for å overvåke klimatiske endringer og kjemisk forurensning, og for å undersøke hvordan dette kan påvirke livs- vilkårene for levende marine ressurser. I utviklingen av norsk havbruk bidrar Havforskningsinstituttet med ny, grunn- leggende biologisk kunnskap om laksefisk, marine arter og skalldyr. Her inngår bl.a. genetikk, fysiologi, fiskevelferd og fiskehelse. Andre forskningsoppgaver omfatter økosystemet i kystsonen, bunndyrsamfunn på kontinentalsokkelen og fangstteknologi. Forskningen ved Havforskningsinstituttet blir initiert og finansiert gjennom fem forsknings- og rådgivingsprogram og fem rene forskningsprogram. Forskningen utføres i 19 faggrupper.

  • Trawl Designs and Techniques Used by Norwegian Research Vessels to Sample Fish in the Pelagic Zone
    TRAWL DESIGNS AND TECHNIQUES USED BY NORWEGIAN RESEARCH VESSELS TO SAMPLE FISH IN THE PELAGIC ZONE J. W. Valdemarsen and 0. A. Misund Institute of Marine Research, P.O.Box 1870, 5024 Bergen, Norway ABSTRACT In resource surveys, representative identification of species and sizes of fish is of vital importance. Various designs and sizes of pelagic trawls and techniques are used in the pelagic zone by Norwegian research vessels for this purpose. This paper describes trawl designs used for O-group surveys and a larger trawl used for adult fish. The largest trawl, which has a vertical opening of 30 m when towed at 3.5 - 4 knots, can be rigged for close-to-surface trawling as well as for rnid- and deep-water trawling with minor adjustment of the rigging. The performance of the various trawls is described, based on geometric measurements using Scanmar instruments and observations with a TV-camera in a towed underwater vehicle. The trawl mouth area of the O-group trawl is approximately 10 x 10 m, and it can be rigged to catch efficiently in all depths from surface downwards. The large pelagic trawl is rigged with large surface buoys and lenghtened upper bridles when used in the surface layer to sample herring and mackerel. INTRODUCTION In the Barents Sea a combination of fishery-dependent and fishery-independent methods is used for assessment of important fish stocks, like cod, haddock, herring, and capelin. Fishery- independent methods are mainly based on echo integration and trawl sampling. Echo intregration depends on representative identification of targets with respect to fish species and sizes, and trawling is at present the only applicable method for this purpose.

  • Fisheries' Collapse and the Making of a Global Event, 1950S–1970S
    Journal of Global History (2018), 13, pp. 399–424 © Cambridge University Press 2018 doi:10.1017/S1740022818000219 Fisheries’ collapse and the making of a global event, 1950s–1970s Gregory Ferguson-Cradler Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Paulstr. 3, 50676 Cologne, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article analyses three fisheries crises in the post-war world – the Far East Asian Kamchatka sal- mon in the late 1950s, the north Atlantic Atlanto-Scandian herring of the late 1960s, and the Per- uvian anchoveta of the early 1970s – to understand how each instance came to be understood as a ‘collapse’ in widely differing contexts and institutional settings, and how these crises led to changes in practices of natural resource administration and in politico-economic structures of the fishing industry. Fishery collapses were broadly understood as state failures and, in response, indivi- dual states increasingly claimed sovereignty over fish stocks and the responsibility to administer their exploitation.
