Does capelin #fisheries in the Barents Sea affect #seabirds negatively? Our latest #research suggests limited negative effects only in one population of common guillemots, while seabird populations in other colonies were not impacted by current level of fisheries. seapop.no/en/2026/06/s...

Seabirds as indicators of sustainable fisheries management

Capelin is one of the most important forage fish species in the Barents Sea and forms a key link between plankton and top predators such as cod, marine mammals and seabirds. At the same time…
