This activity is part of the objective of WP3 to further develop existing European Polar research strategies and to advance European Polar research actions. The call has been prepared in close collaboration with the stakeholder guardian to ensure that the service contracts are also targeted to early engagement with stake- and rightholders. The deliverable output comprises different documents: guidelines for applicants with eligibility criteria, funding conditions and submission guidelines and the template submission form. Three calls for proposals will be launched in the coming three years.

Research paper thumbnail of Seabirds and marine mammals in the eastern Barents Sea: late summer at-sea distribution and calculated food intake

Polar Biology, Mar 31, 1996

The at-sea distribution of seabirds and marine mammals in the eastern Barents Sea was determined ... more The at-sea distribution of seabirds and marine mammals in the eastern Barents Sea was determined using standardized transect counts during three cruises of R» ''Dalnie Zelentsy'' (Murmansk) in late summer 1991, 1992 and 1993. Totals of 32,268 seabirds, 485 pinnipeds, 25 cetaceans and 4 polar bears were counted during 554 half-hour counts. Numbers were converted into densities, total biomass and calculated daily food intake. Mean total food intake in kg fresh weight/km.day was 3.1 for the entire zone and all years; fish eaters dominated the whole region, with an intake of 1.3 (mainly Bru¨nnich's guillemot, ºria lomvia, and harp seal, Phoca groenlandica), followed by zooplankton eaters (0.85, mainly fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis) and mixed zooplankton and fish feeders (0.75, mainly minke whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata, and kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla). Year-to-year variations were of little importance, while geographic differences were obvious between Norwegian coastal, Atlantic and Barents Sea water masses, both quantitatively and qualitatively (relative importance of main diets). Within each zone, a strong geographic heterogeneity was noted, with high local concentrations at fronts between water masses and at ice edges.
