AI-generated Abstract

The Barents Sea is characterized by significant environmental variations affecting biomass distributions and productivity within its pelagic ecosystem. This study summarizes key average properties of this ecosystem, highlighting substantial primary productivity levels and biomass concentrations. The findings underscore the ecosystem's dynamic nature, influenced by both regional environmental factors and broader climatic patterns, with implications for marine resource management and ecological health.
