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. ' The Kola River is one of the most important fishing rivers of Russia. It flows out of the Kolozero Lake, situated almost in the central part of the Kola Peninsula,and falls into the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea. Locating in the hollow of the transversal break, along the line of the Imandra Lake-the Kola Bay, its basin borders on the water removing of the Imandra Lake in the south, ..

  • The Reception and Commemoration of William Speirs Bruce Are, I Suggest, Part
    The University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences Institute of Geography A SCOT OF THE ANTARCTIC: THE RECEPTION AND COMMEMORATION OF WILLIAM SPEIRS BRUCE M.Sc. by Research in Geography Innes M. Keighren 12 September 2003 Declaration of originality I hereby declare that this dissertation has been composed by me and is based on my own work. 12 September 2003 ii Abstract 2002–2004 marks the centenary of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. Led by the Scots naturalist and oceanographer William Speirs Bruce (1867–1921), the Expedition, a two-year exploration of the Weddell Sea, was an exercise in scientific accumulation, rather than territorial acquisition. Distinct in its focus from that of other expeditions undertaken during the ‘Heroic Age’ of polar exploration, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, and Bruce in particular, were subject to a distinct press interpretation. From an examination of contemporary newspaper reports, this thesis traces the popular reception of Bruce—revealing how geographies of reporting and of reading engendered locally particular understandings of him. Inspired, too, by recent work in the history of science outlining the constitutive significance of place, this study considers the influence of certain important spaces—venues of collection, analysis, and display—on the conception, communication, and reception of Bruce’s polar knowledge. Finally, from the perspective afforded by the centenary of his Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, this paper illustrates how space and place have conspired, also, to direct Bruce’s ‘commemorative trajectory’—to define the ways in which, and by whom, Bruce has been remembered since his death. iii Acknowledgements For their advice, assistance, and encouragement during the research and writing of this thesis I should like to thank Michael Bolik (University of Dundee); Margaret Deacon (Southampton Oceanography Centre); Graham Durant (Hunterian Museum); Narve Fulsås (University of Tromsø); Stanley K.

E-mail: [email protected] Alexander Polilov collected many zoological and botanical specimens during his ser- vice as a medical doctor for the Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition (1898–1915). Basic details of Polilov’s biography are presented. His botanical collections originated from the Kola Peninsula and are housed at LE. On the basis of a specimen collected by Polilov, Hieracium pasense was described as new to science from the north-western part of Murmansk Region, Russia. This species is related to H. gemellum from Sweden and is distributed in a small area between Kirkenes (Sør-Varanger, Norway) and Vichany Bay (Murmansk Region, Russia); its presence in Norway is documented with herbarium specimens at H. Hieracium eurofinmarkicum (as a synonym) and the Russian occur- rence of H. gracilentipes (misidentification) are included into this species here, with an updated description and a distribution map. A lectotype of Hieracium gemellum subsp. eurofinmarkicum is designated. On the basis of its limited distribution area, the conserva- tion status of the species is assessed as Endangered.

  • Biografie Di Esploratori Polari
    1 Esploratori polari: biografie di W. Filchner (1877-1957), F. Nansen (1861-1930) e E.H. Shackleton (1874-1922) di Michele T. Mazzucato Il pericolo che si corre ad esplorare una costa in questi mari sconosciuti è talmente grande, che nessuno oserà spingersi più lontano di me e le terre che possono essere al Sud non saranno mai esplorate. capitano James Cook (1728-1779) L’esploratore tedesco WILHELM FILCHNER nacque a Bayreuth il 13 settembre 1877. Intraprese la carriera militare, divenendo ufficiale nel 1898, e si perfezionò a Monaco in scienze topografiche. Contemporaneamente effettuò alcuni viaggi in Russia, nell’Asia Minore e nel Pamir (in lingua locale chiamata Bam i duniya ossia il Tetto del Mondo). Quest’ultimo viaggio, effettuato nel 1900, venne da lui descritto nell’articolo Ein Ritt über den Pamir in Jahresberichte der Frankfurter Verein für Geographie und Statistik LXIV-LXV (1901) pp. 166-175. Nel 1903-1905, assieme al geologo ALBERT TAFEL (1876-1935), scolaro dell’esploratore e geografo FERDINAND VON RICHTHOFEN (1833-1905), diresse un’importante spedizione nell’Asia Centrale presso la regione sorgentifera del Hwang-Ho (il Fiume Giallo), ai confini della Cina col Tibet (Bodyul in lingua tibetana), visitò il lago Oring Nor e le alte montagne che limitano a nord-ovest la provincia cinese di Sze-ch’wan (Sichuan), riportando un’imponente quantità di nuovi dati topografici e geografici. I risultati di questo suo primo viaggio nell’Asia Centrale vennero pubblicati nell’opera, in undici volumi e tre raccolte di carte, dal titolo Wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse der Expedition Filchner nach China und Tibet 1903-1905 (Berlino, 1906-1914) mentre una descrizione più agevole e popolare fu Das Rätsel des Mantschu (nome del corso superiore dell’Hwang-Ho) (Berlino, 1906).
