Abstract
The aim of the work is to analyze the main abiotic and biotic factors affecting the distribution of mackerel within the feeding area.
The research materials were data on the stock status, distribution of mackerel in the Norwegian Sea and adjacent waters, and also on its occurrence in the Barents Sea. Information on monthly temperature fields of the sea surface layer and zooplankton biomass was used.
Methods used: comparative data analysis.
Novelty: the analysis of the distribution of mackerel, water temperature and feeding zooplankton in various parts of the Norwegian Sea over the past 12 years was carried out in the work, and for the first time a literary and historical review of the occurrence of mackerel in the Barents Sea from the beginning of the XX century to the present was performed.
Results: The peculiarities of the distribution of mackerel in the Norwegian Sea and adjacent waters in the second — beginning of the third decades of the XXI century are noted. The historical review of the occurrence of mackerel in the Barents Sea in the summer-autumn period of its life cycle is presented. From the analysis of the main factors of abiotic and biotic nature it follows that the annual migrations of mackerel and its fishing areas are determined primarily by the peculiarities of the oceanographic situation, feeding conditions and stock dynamics in different years. An assumption was made about the impossibility of the appearance of mackerel aggregations in the western part of the Barents Sea during the feeding period of the coming years.
