Salmon rivers of this area have been affected by significant fishing pressure for a long time, and, undoubtedly, these data are of great importance for assessment of optimum abundance of spawners, necessary for spawning grounds, for estimating the exploitation rate of the stock, the optimum abundance of released farmed juveniles and for other calculations. At the same time, despite the numerous papers, the problem of the stock status of salmon from the Kola River was discussed'long aga (Azbelev, 1960), but there are no data on the reproductive potential of this river in literature.

Introduction The present paper addresses some practical and a few theoretical issues connected with the linguistic field research being undertaken as part of the Kola Saami Documentation Project (KSDP). The aims of the paper are as follows: a) to provide general informa- tion about the Kola Saami languages und the current state of their doc- umentation; b) to provide general information about KSDP, expected project results and the project work flow; c) to present certain soft- ware tools used in our documentation work (Transcriber, Toolbox, Elan) and to discuss other relevant methodological and technical issues; d) to present a preliminary phoneme analysis of Kildin and other Kola Saami languages which serves as a basis for the transcription convention used for the annotation of recorded texts. .. The Kola Saami languages The Kola Saami Documentation Project aims at documenting the four Saami languages spoken in Russia: Skolt, Akkala, Kildin, and Ter. Ge- nealogically, these four languages belong to two subgroups of the East Saami branch: Akkala and Skolt belong to the Mainland group (together with Inari, which is spoken in Finland), whereas Kildin and Ter form the Peninsula group of East Saami.

Experience from development of this field, where there are still many uncertainties, will have large consequences for the further development program and relations with foreign companies. The exploration activity going on is fairly limited, but over the last few years there has been a struggle over licenses and control over exploration capacity. In the medium term the goal of rapid development of the Arctic continental shelf has become intertwined with a comprehensive government effort to modernise the domestic shipbuilding industry to make it able to cover most of the needs offshore. With the shipbuilding industry in a deep crisis these goals are not fully reconcilable. Russia will either have to accept more foreign involvement, or scale down its offshore ambitions. We believe a combination of the two alternatives is likely.

    Petrodevelopment 2030 Socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea A report prepared for StatoilHydro by a group of researchers from Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø, Norut - Northern Research Institute, Alta, and Institute for Economic Studies, Kola Science Centre Title: Petrodevelopment 2030 Socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea Authors: Peter Arbo, Vladimir Didyk, Bjørn Hersoug, Inge Berg Nilssen, Vigdis Nygaard, Larissa Riabova, Jan Yngve Sand and Stein Østbye Joint report: Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø Norut – Northern Research Institute, Alta Institute for Economic Studies, Kola Science Centre Commissioned by: StatoilHydro Project leader: Peter Arbo Quality assurance: Bjørn Hersoug Summary: The theme of this report is the regional socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea. The regional focus area includes Finnmark County and Murmansk Oblast. The introductory chapter explains the purpose of the study and the way the work has been done. The next two chapters provide a detailed account of the region and its basic characteristics. The general finding is that the region strongly needs a new stimulus to growth, but that it is badly prepared for receiving a coming oil and gas boom. The following chapter gives a brief overview of the oil and gas sectors in Norway and Russia and introduces the baseline scenario, which indicates the expected scale and scope of future petroleum activity in the Barents Sea. After this three scenarios are presented. They all have 2030 as their time horizon.

Rathmann Risø National Laboratory P. Lundsager Darup Associates A/S G.Gerdes DEWI P. Zorlos, P. Ladakakos CRES P. Ahm PA Energy A/S B. Tammelin FMI A. Tiilikainen University of Lapland V. Minin, G. Dmitriev Institute for Physical and Technological Problems of Energy in the North Kola Science Centre Contract JOR3–CT95–0036 Final Publishable Report Research funded in part by THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION in the framework of the NON-NUCLEAR RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2 [19] 1. ABSTRACT The possibilities for wind energy production on the Kola peninsula in north-western Russia were studied in an extensive feasibility study. The Kola peninsula constitutes the Murmansk oblast, i.e. a region with some autonomous features, within the Russian federation. The wind resources in the region are very good, with annual means speeds up to 10 m/s on the cost of the Barents Sea. A wind atlas is produced according to the methodology developed at Risø National Laboratories in Denmark and makes it possible to do reliable wind resource assessments and produc- tion estimates at prospective sites. There are more than 30 civil and military settlements located off the common electrical network. In these settlements electricity needs are currently supplied mostly by autonomous diesel power stations. Due to long distances and difficult access transport of fuel is costly and thus power prices are high. In these communities wind turbines could provide both additional energy supply and fuels savings at competitive costs.

    Agenda items 6.2, 6.4(a), 6.7, 6.8(a), 7 For information Council CNL(05)32 Supplementary Returns by the Russian Federation CNL(05)32 Supplementary Returns by the Russian Federation Comment on Application of the Decision Structure for Management of Atlantic Salmon Fisheries in Russia in 2004 The Decision Structure continued to be applied for management of fisheries on 38 White Sea rivers and 37 Barents Sea rivers on the Kola Peninsula. For each river the Polar Research Institute provides advice on the abundance of spawning stock, conservation limit, and catch options. On the basis of this advice the Science and Fisheries Council makes management decisions concerning catch limits in each fishery: commercial, catch-and-retain, catch-and- release, on a river-by-river basis. Murmanrybvod (Control and Enforcement authority) details fishing regime for each river including time of fishing, fishing gears, sites, catch limit for each site. Users then base their operations on these decisions. The application of the Decision Structure was expanded in 2004 to include a number of rivers in the Archangel region, Nenets okrug, Komi Republic and Karelia. Specifically, the Decision Structure was applied to decide on management measures for the salmon fishery on the rivers Pechora, Severnaya Dvina, Onega (Archangel) and Keret (Karelian Republic). No suggestions have been made on how the Decision Structure could be improved as it requires the use of practically the same information as was provided by the control schemes and monitoring programs conducted in Russia and used previously to inform management decisions concerning salmon fisheries. Russian managers find it useful.

  • Finnish Botanists on the Kola Peninsula (Russia) up to 1918
    Memoranda Soc. Soc. Fauna Fauna Flora Flora Fennica Fennica 89, 89: 2013 75–104. • Uotila 2013 75 Finnish botanists on the Kola Peninsula (Russia) up to 1918 Pertti Uotila Uotila, P., Finnish Museum of Natural History (Botany), P.O.Box 7, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] Finnish botanists actively studied the flora of Karelia (Karelian Republic) and the Kola Peninsula (Murmansk Region) when Finland was a Grand Duchy of Russia in 1809–1918. J. Fellman’s ex- peditions in 1829 were the first notable botanical expeditions to the area. Geologically and floristi- cally the area was similar to Finland, and exploring the area was considered to be a national duty for Finnish biologists. Almost 40 Finnish scientists who travelled on the Kola Peninsula collected significant amounts of herbarium specimens from there. The specimens are mostly in H, but du- plicates were distributed widely. The collectors include M. Aschan, W. M. Axelson (Linnaniemi), V. Borg (Kivilinna), M. Brenner, V. F. Brotherus, R. Envald, J. Fellman, N. I. Fellman, C. W. Fontell, E. af Hällström, H. Hollmén, P. A. Karsten, A. Osw. Kihlman (Kairamo), F. W. Klingstedt, H. Lindberg, J. Lindén, A. J. Malmberg (Mela), J. Montell, F. Nylander, J. A. Palmén, V. Pesola, P. A. Rantaniemi, J. Sahlberg, and G. Selin. A short description is given of the biographies of the most important collectors with notes on their itineraries. Details of the collections from the Kola Peninsula are mostly taken from the vascular-plant specimens kept in the Finnish main herbaria and entered in the Floristic database Kastikka of the Finnish Museum of Natural History.
