List of dangerous fish in the Barents Sea. Nature of the Murmansk region. Features of national fishing in northern latitudes

How to get to the place of fishing:

The most convenient and cheapest way to get to Teriberka is by car. To make it profitable and comfortable for you on the road, there must be three people in the car (two drivers are required).

Why exactly three people and at least two drivers in the car?
Such a number of people allows you to comfortably get to Teriberka, without long stops. One driver drives the car, the second gets enough sleep lying in the back seat, the third participant secures.
*These are our recommendations based on experience, the decision to travel is yours to make. You can go alone, but will it be safe? Yes, you will have to pay for all the gas. You should not put passengers on all seats, you will deprive people of comfort and you most likely will not have enough trunk space for things and loading fish on the way back.

How many kilometers to Teriberka?
- from Vyborg 1550 km.
- from St. Petersburg 1400 km.
- from Moscow 2000 km.

How long does it take to get to the fishing spot?
- the road from St. Petersburg usually takes 18-26 hours, depending on road conditions, snacks, stops for photography, rest.

How much does it cost for petrol?
- on average, round-trip gasoline costs 15,000 rubles. to the car.

If I don’t have a car or I don’t want to drive my own, then how can I get to Teriberka?
There are several options:
- at free places in the cars of other participants and the desire of the owner, you can be taken with you.
- to agitate friends who have a car for a trip.
- buy a plane or train ticket to Murmansk, so that you can get to the sea in time, order a transfer to Teriberka. IN this option, there are drawbacks, due to weather conditions the road may be closed, then there is a high probability of being late for the right time in Murmansk. And appears interest Ask how to bring the caught fish?

Tackle for sea fishing in the Barents Sea in Teriberka.

A memo for those who want to buy tackle for sea fishing. This article is purely personal recommendations based on many years of experience. We will tell you what gear we use and explain why.

What are sea fishing tackle made of?
Spinning, sea reel, braided cord, equipment - single hooks, carabiners, rings, punda with a tee.

Spinning for sea fishing in the Barents Sea.
The length of the spinning rod must be at least 1.6 meters and not more than 2.1 meters with a test of 300 to 1000 grams. With a large test, the fish can be dragged without fear that something will break, but the pleasure of playing is reduced in proportion to the test. But with a small test, the opposite is true. The rod is very sensitive, every jerk is felt, but you need to be careful with sudden movements, the spinning rod may not withstand excessive jerks.
The longer the rod, the more the jerks of the fish are felt, with a long rod it is not very convenient on the ship, it will interfere everywhere, it is more difficult to unravel, it is more difficult to lift the fish on board.
You need to find a middle ground for yourself, there is no ideal option.

There are two options for spinning with rings or rollers. Each has its pros and cons

Pros and cons of spinning with rollers:
The main advantage of rollers is that they endure shocks and throws of spinning very well, and this very often happens on an iron vessel when pulling out fish. It is believed that spinning with rollers rubs the braid less. Of the minuses - sometimes the cord jumps off the rollers and gets stuck, this must be monitored.
Sea rod Mystic Heavy Pilk 59EH (175 cm, 500-1000g)

Marine rod Surf Master Commander with rollers 1.65m (300-700gr)

Pros and cons of spinning with rings:
Silent and light, rarely seen with a large test and a small length. Very often, the inserts in the rings fly out and break during transportation and fishing. You should always carefully place the spinning rod on the deck.

Recommendations:
- be sure to disassemble the spinning immediately after each fishing and rinse it in fresh water.
- The tip of the handle must be equipped with an axial rotation locking cross.
- The thicker the handle, the more comfortable.
- It is desirable to have an aluminum ring for attaching the coil.

Marine coil.
The best reel in terms of price-quality-reliability ratio Penn Commander pro 30. For many years the coil did not fail.

Recommendations:
- be sure to lubricate the mechanisms after each fishing season

- Comfortable thick handle
- The more bearings the reel has, the better.
- Mandatory presence of a logger.
- The reel must hold at least 250 meters of braided line with a diameter of 0.4 - 0.8 mm.

Cord
Braided cord should be selected with a diameter of 0.4 to 0.8 mm. The breaking load must be at least 30 kg. Fishing line for sea fishing is not suitable, as it stretches during sharp strokes of the rod, and the equipment practically does not move at depth.
Recommendations:
- Take a cord with a color change every 10 meters. You can easily determine the depth and level of winding the bait.
- The most running cord diameter is 0.5 mm. with a breaking load of at least 45kg.
- Use special cord knots


- It is better to buy a winding of 300 meters.
- The cord is a consumable, it makes no sense to buy very expensive ones.

rigging
The equipment consists of a spinner and one or two single hooks.
We use "punds" with a tee in the equipment and no more than two hooks in the suspension.
"Pounds" have a relatively large weight - from 500 gr. up to 1 kg. The most optimal weight is 700 grams. Such a weight is necessary so that the “pound” sinks to the bottom as quickly and smoothly as possible without interfering with other fishermen, very often there are strong undercurrents in the Teriberka area, light tackle will be demolished and you will constantly be confused with partners.
The size of the "Punda" is from 15 to 30 cm, this is the approximate size of capelin, herring and juvenile cod. We recommend making "Pounds" from stainless pipes and filling them with lead, it will be much cheaper than store-bought ones.
"Punda" is equipped with a large strong tee no less than No. 12. The larger the hook, the easier it is to pull it out of the fish's mouth. It is possible to plant a red cambric to the tee.
The tackle is equipped with a suspension, one or two single hooks with red cambric no less than No. 10, tied to the main cord on short leashes at a distance of 50-80 cm from each other above the "pound".
The gear should look like this:
Cord, swivel, carabiner, two-hook snap, carabiner, swivel ring, punda, ring, swivel, ring, tee
Recommendations:
- do not buy cheap and Chinese fittings, everything breaks and bends.

How to catch?
Catching takes place on a sheer lure. At the captain's signal, the tackle is lowered to a depth, usually 1 - 2 meters from the bottom. Next, you need to sharply rhythmically pull the spinning rod. The swing amplitude should be 1-2 meters. In the process of flashing, we change the speed, amplitude, try different options. When changing the place of fishing, the captain gives a signal and everyone raises the tackle on board.

What time do we start and end fishing?

Teriberka has long been considered the most profitable place for sea fishing due to its proximity to the open sea. Capelin comes here to spawn, and this is a delicacy for cod. Yes, and the cod itself spawns here. From March to June, huge shoals of fish gather in the Teriberka region and it is easy to catch it at depths of 20 to 120 meters.

07:30 - 08:00 from the port of Teriberka
- Boarding the boat
- Checking documents by border guards
- Departure of the ship

Transfer to the place of fishing: Dolgaya Bay - 40 min., Cape Teribersky - 1 hour, Opasovo Bay - 1.5 hours, about. Kildin - 3 hours

At the request of the guests, for cooking fish soup or other delicacies, you can hide from the excitement in the nearest lip. There you can fish in a calm atmosphere and clean up the deck. In the sea, food, as a rule, is not cooked, shakes.

In the event of stormy weather, force majeure, MORF exercisesthe captain makes his own decision to stop fishing and goes to the port.

18:00-20:00 Arrival in Teriberka

- Unloading the catch

Summer holidays are getting closer and closer in 2018. Russians are happy to spend this long-awaited time not only in the south of the country. Amateur fishermen appreciate every opportunity to go out into nature, where they plunge into the familiar and reckless process of fishing.

A great opportunity to turn the most daring fishing fantasies into a real rich catch is summer fishing in the Barents Sea. It will require from each participant who gets to the northern outskirts of the country ("savage" or "organized" tourist) courage, careful preparation equipment.

Features of national fishing in northern latitudes

Many come to the Kola Peninsula not only for a wonderful catch, but also for the unique emotions that sea fishing gives. The local inhabitants of the depths were forced to adapt to the harsh climate, so they are much more active, powerful and larger than their river counterparts. Fishing in the Barents Sea is of 2 types:

  1. In the numerous bays that cut through the complex coastline, free fish is caught from the shore, from a boat, near the piers. There is one problem - it will be possible to drive up to open water only on the Sredny Peninsula, near the villages of Rybachy, Dalnie Zelentsy, Teriberka, Ura-Guba.
  2. Actually sea (paid) fishing, where only the vast expanse, seals, whales and birds are visible from the yacht, since you have to move away from the coast at a distance of 5-10 km. It is recommended to rent a vessel (for a day with an overnight stay, without going ashore, for 45,000 rubles) or buy a 3-day complex tour for 66,000 rubles (with processing of the catch on the ship, excursions, insurance, meals, paperwork).

Fauna of the Barents (Russian) Sea

  • Minek;
  • Navaga;
  • Gerbil;
  • Haddock;
  • Halibut (two subspecies);
  • Sayda;
  • Herring (two subspecies);

  • stingray;
  • Cod.

What gear, bait, bait, bait are used

For a sea adventure, you need to stock up on a large fishing assortment, which consists of several items. Tackle. A rod up to 2 m long, with a test of 500-700 g, a multiplier reel with a diameter of 0.4-0.8 mm and a 200-meter nylon or dacron fishing line, stranded cords, a cord with a lead core, marine echo sounders, extractors, landing nets, hooks, loops - grabs, cages, depth gauges, lights for night fishing.

The bait is:

  • Marine polychaete worms, dung worms;
  • Crabs and their meat;
  • Shrimps;
  • squids;
  • Mussels;
  • Zywiec;
  • pieces of fish;
  • The spleen of birds and animals.

Groundbait is prepared from ground fish, which is placed in a feeder and lowered into the water below the waterline (this method is only effective in areas with good flow). They mostly consist of chopped mackerel, herring, sardines and other fish that are thrown overboard to attract sharks, tuna. Widely used for catching flounder, cod perforated canned food for pets.

Artificial bait (jig heads, twisters, vibrotails, spinners) should look like real food. (Silicon baits treated with attractants will serve as a good help). It is important not to miss the moment for hooking and playing the fish until it spit out the bait. However, this standard rule of classic fishing is applicable everywhere and always.

Video summer fishing in the Barents Sea:

For the Barents Sea, 114 species of fish are known, which are part of 41 families. As we move to the east, within the Barents Sea, the species diversity of fish rapidly decreases, and in the eastern part of the sea, only half of the indicated number was found. In this case, the main negative factor is a significant decrease in temperature and mainly a severe winter regime and floating ice.

Among all the fish of the Barents Sea, they are distinguished by the number of species of the cod (12 species), flounder (11 species), eelpout (13 species), goby (10 species) and whitefish (7 species) families. Most families are represented by one or two species. Such single species are also important commercial objects - sea bass (Sebastes marinus) and herring (Clupea harengus).

A little more than 20 species can be classified as commercial fish of the Barents Sea, of which only about a dozen are of the most significant importance. In the first place in the fishery are cod (Gadus callarias), haddock (Gadus aeglefitius), sea bass and herring (Fig. 205).

Figure 205.

The importance of these fish in the fishery varies greatly from year to year (Table 50).

1936 85,1 9,9 2,0 3,0
1938 56,7 37,0 3,5 2,8

Minor species of fisheries include several species of catfish (Anarrhichas), sea flounder (Pleuronectes platessa), ruff flounder (Hippoglossoides platessoides), halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), pollock (Gadus virens) and shark (Somniosus macrocephalus).

The discovery by N. Knipovich at the very beginning of this century of the possibility of a large development of trawl fishing in the Barents Sea was not used in Tsarist Russia for a long time, and fishing on Murman was purely artisanal coastal longline fishing. Only attempts were made to organize a trawl fleet by private industrialists. IN Soviet time trawling began to develop rapidly (Table 51).

In 1938, in the Barents Sea, the trawl fleet of the USSR, England and Germany produced about 6 million centners. To this should be added at least another 1 million centners from coastal fishing.

Herring fishing in the Barents Sea is not yet regular, but in some years it gives our country up to 1 million centners.

There are in the Barents Sea also such mass fishes, which are very valuable in terms of nutrition, which are still very little or not yet captured by the fishery, but in the future they represent very great opportunities. These, by the way, include small pelagic fish: capelin (Mallotus villosus) and polar cod (Boreogadus saida), flounder-ruff and some others (Fig. 206).

Figure 206.

All this mass of commercial fish, estimated in millions of tons, requires much larger quantities for their food. food organisms- plankton and benthos. We have determined the total amount of one in the other at 200-240 million tons; in some part, this huge mass of organisms is used by commercial fish. The main fish species are distributed according to nutrition mainly among different food groups of organisms - some feed on plankton (herring, sea bass), others on benthos (sea flounder, haddock), and others on fish (cod) and planktonic crustaceans.

Small mass pelagic fish are sometimes used by a wide variety of fish and other animals, which can be seen in the example of the polar cod.

The main food of cod is small pelagic fish: herring, capelin, juvenile cod and haddock and polar cod. Fish makes up at least 60% of cod food. In second place after fish are large planktonic crustaceans from amphipods, euphausiids and decapods. In the eastern part of the sea, a significant part of the food is made up of bottom animals - crab, hermit crab and various other larger representatives of amphipods, isopods and cumaceans, and to a lesser extent worms and mollusks.

Haddock, in contrast to cod, feeds on benthos: mollusks, worms, crustaceans and echinoderms.

The main food of the herring, as we have indicated, is planktonic copepods.

It remains to say a few words about birds, since they are essential for marine organisms, mainly for planktonic crustaceans and small fish.

Large bird markets are concentrated along the western coasts of Novaya Zemlya. The main form is guillemot (Uria lomvia), the number of which on Novaya Zemlya is estimated at 4 million pieces. The waters of the Barents Sea, teeming with life, provide abundant food for all this mass of birds, which consume mainly capelin and polar cod from fish, and euphausiids from crustaceans.

The Barents Sea is located on the continental shelf. The southwestern part of the sea does not freeze in winter due to the influence of the North Atlantic Current. The southeastern part of the sea is called the Pechora Sea. The Barents Sea has great importance for transport and for fishing - large ports are located here - Murmansk and Vardø (Norway). Before World War II, Finland also had access to the Barents Sea: Petsamo was its only ice-free port. serious problem represents the radioactive contamination of the sea due to the activities of the Soviet/Russian nuclear fleet and Norwegian radioactive waste processing plants. IN Lately the sea shelf of the Barents Sea in the direction of Svalbard becomes the object of territorial disputes between the Russian Federation and Norway (as well as other states).

The Barents Sea is rich various types fish, plant and animal plankton and benthos. Seaweeds are common off the south coast. Of the 114 species of fish living in the Barents Sea, 20 species are the most important for commercial purposes: cod, haddock, herring, sea bass, catfish, flounder, halibut, etc. Mammals are found: polar bear, seals, harp seals, white whales, etc. Seals are hunted. Bird colonies abound on the coasts (guillemots, guillemots, kittiwakes). In the 20th century, the king crab was introduced, which was able to adapt to new conditions and begin to multiply intensively.

Finno-Ugric tribes - the Sami (Lapps) - have lived off the coast of the Berents Sea since ancient times. The first visits of non-autochthonous Europeans (Vikings, then Novgorodians) began, probably, from the end of the 11th century, and then intensified. The Barents Sea was named in 1853 in honor of the Dutch navigator Willem Barents. The scientific study of the sea was started by the expedition of F. P. Litke 1821-1824, and the first complete and reliable hydrological description of the sea was compiled by N. M. Knipovich at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Barents Sea is the marginal water area of ​​the Arctic Ocean on the border with the Atlantic Ocean, between the northern coast of Europe in the south and the Vaygach Islands, New Earth, Franz Josef Land in the east, Svalbard and Bear Island in the west.

In the West it borders on the Norwegian Sea basin, in the south - on the White Sea, in the east - on the Kara Sea, in the north - on the Arctic Ocean. The area of ​​the Barents Sea, located to the east of Kolguev Island, is called the Pechora Sea.

The shores of the Barents Sea are predominantly fjord-like, high, rocky, and heavily indented. The largest bays are: Porsanger Fjord, Varangian Bay (also known as Varanger Fjord), Motovsky Bay, Kola Bay, etc. To the east of the Kanin Nos Peninsula, the coastal relief changes dramatically - the coasts are mostly low and slightly indented. There are 3 large shallow bays here: (Cheshskaya Bay, Pechora Bay, Khaipudyrskaya Bay), as well as several small bays.

The largest rivers flowing into the Barents Sea are Pechora and Indiga.

The surface currents of the sea form a counterclockwise circulation. Along the southern and eastern periphery, the Atlantic waters of the warm North Cape current (a branch of the Gulf Stream system) move east and north, the influence of which can be traced to the northern shores of Novaya Zemlya. The northern and western parts of the circulation are formed by local and Arctic waters coming from the Kara Sea and the Arctic Ocean. In the central part of the sea there is a system of intracircular currents. The circulation of sea waters changes under the influence of changes in winds and water exchange with adjacent seas. Of great importance, especially near the coast, are tidal currents. The tides are semi-diurnal, their greatest value is 6.1 m near the coast of the Kola Peninsula, in other places 0.6-4.7 m.

Water exchange with neighboring seas is of great importance in the water balance of the Barents Sea. During the year, about 76,000 km³ of water enters the sea through the straits (and the same amount leaves it), which is approximately 1/4 of the total volume of sea water. The largest number water (59,000 km³ per year) is carried by the warm North Cape current, which has an exceptionally great influence on the hydrometeorological regime of the sea. The total river flow to the sea is on average 200 km³ per year.

The salinity of the surface layer of water in the open sea during the year is 34.7-35.0 ppm in the southwest, 33.0-34.0 in the east, and 32.0-33.0 in the north. In the coastal strip of the sea in spring and summer, salinity drops to 30-32, by the end of winter it rises to 34.0-34.5.

The Barents Sea occupies the Barents Sea Plate of the Proterozoic-Early Cambrian age; anteclise bottom elevations, depressions - syneclises. Of the shallower landforms, there are remnants of ancient coastlines, at depths of about 200 and 70 m, glacial-denudation and glacial-accumulative forms, and sand ridges formed by strong tidal currents.

The Barents Sea is located within the continental shallows, but, unlike other similar seas, most of it has a depth of 300-400 m, an average depth of 229 m and a maximum depth of 600 m. depth 63 m)], depressions (Central, maximum depth 386 m) and trenches (Western (maximum depth 600 m) Franz Victoria (430 m) and others). The southern part of the bottom has a depth of mostly less than 200 m and is distinguished by a leveled relief.

From the cover of bottom sediments in the southern part of the Barents Sea, sand prevails, in some places - pebbles and crushed stone. On the heights of the central and northern parts of the sea - silty sand, sandy silt, in depressions - silt. An admixture of coarse clastic material is noticeable everywhere, which is associated with ice rafting and the wide distribution of relict glacial deposits. The thickness of sediments in the northern and middle parts is less than 0.5 m, as a result of which ancient glacial deposits are practically on the surface on some hills. The slow rate of sedimentation (less than 30 mm per 1 thousand years) is explained by the insignificant influx of terrigenous material - not a single one flows into the Barents Sea due to the features of the coastal relief. major river(except for the Pechora, which leaves almost all of its alluvium within the Pechora Estuary), and the land shores are composed mainly of solid crystalline rocks.

The climate of the Barents Sea is influenced by the warm Atlantic Ocean and the cold Arctic Ocean. Frequent intrusions of warm Atlantic cyclones and cold Arctic air determine the great variability of weather conditions. In winter, southwest winds prevail over the sea, in spring and summer - northeast winds. Frequent storms. The average air temperature in February varies from -25 °C in the north to -4 °C in the southwest. The average temperature in August is 0 °C, 1 °C in the north, 10 °C in the southwest. Cloudy weather prevails over the sea during the year. Annual rainfall varies from 250 mm in the north to 500 mm in the southwest.

severe climatic conditions in the north and east of the Barents Sea determine its large ice coverage. In all seasons of the year, only the southwestern part of the sea remains free of ice. The greatest distribution the ice cover reaches in April, when about 75% of the sea surface is occupied by floating ice. In exclusively favorable years at the end of winter, floating ice comes directly to the shores of the Kola Peninsula. The least amount of ice occurs at the end of August. At this time, the ice boundary moves beyond 78°N. sh. In the northwest and northeast of the sea, ice usually stays all year round, but in separate, favorable years, the sea is completely freed from ice.

The inflow of warm Atlantic waters determines the relatively high temperature and salinity in the southwestern part of the sea. Here, in February - March, the water temperature on the surface is 3 °C, 5 °C, in August it rises to 7 °C, 9 °C. North of 74° N. sh. and in the southeastern part of the sea in winter the surface water temperature is below -1 °C, and in summer in the north 4 °C, 0 °C, in the southeast 4 °C, 7 °C. In summer, in the coastal zone, the surface layer of warm water 5-8 meters thick can warm up to 11-12 °C.

The sea is rich in various fish species, plant and animal plankton and benthos, so the Barents Sea is of great economic importance as an area of ​​intensive fishing. In addition, the sea route connecting European part Russia (especially the European North) with ports of western (from the 16th century) and eastern countries (from the 19th century), as well as Siberia (from the 15th century). The main and largest port is the non-freezing port of Murmansk, the capital of the Murmansk region. Other ports in Russian Federation- Teriberka, Indiga, Naryan-Mar (Russia); Vardø, Vadso and Kirkenes (Norway).

The Barents Sea is the region of deployment not only of the merchant fleet, but also of the Russian Navy, including nuclear submarines.

Barencevo sea

The water area of ​​the Barents Sea is 1400 thousand km2, the volume of water is 332 thousand km3. Its maximum depth is 600 m, the average depth is about 200 m. For the most part, the Barents Sea is located on a plateau with depths of less than 200 m, and depths of more than 500 m are only in a trench protruding from the west. In the eastern shallow water there are several bottom uplifts - “cans”. From the west, waters of the warm Atlantic current penetrate into the sea with a water temperature of 4-12 ° C, salinity of 34.8-35.2 ppm, so the southwestern part of the sea does not freeze in winter. The waters of the western part of the sea are warmed to the bottom, however, in the middle and eastern parts of the sea, 7/8 of the water column is with negative temperatures. In one day, about 150 km3 of warm Atlantic water penetrates into the Barents Sea between the North Cape and Bear Island, of which 2/3 then turn first to the north and then back to the west. Only an insignificant part of them enters the Kara Sea through the Kara Gates.

The surface temperature of the water in the Barents Sea in winter (February) is 3-5°, in summer it rises. At the junction of warm and cold water masses, powerful vertical circulation occurs and the so-called “polar fronts” are formed, where, as a result of good aeration of the deep layers and the removal of biogenic elements to the surface, an increased development of plankton and benthos occurs, and nekton hydrobionts accumulate - objects of fishing. In the Barents Sea species composition fish (ichthyofauna) has 150 species from 41 families. Here we can distinguish three environmental groups species: 1) boreal (temperate warm water), 2) temperate cold water, and 3) arctic.

There are about 17 commercial fish species, most of them are boreal, for example, Atlantic herring, salmon, cod, haddock, saithe, sea bass, halibut. It is these species that account for up to 80% of the total fish catch in the Barents Sea. They breed, as a rule, off the coast of Norway, and their juveniles feed directly in the Barents Sea. Arctic fish (polar shark, small-vertebral herring, navaga, black halibut, polar flounder, smelt) are distributed mainly in the eastern, colder part of the Barents Sea and in the White Sea. Their commercial value is relatively small.

Moderately cold-water fish, such as capelin, stingrays, catfish, etc., have slightly more weight than Arctic fish in local fisheries. However, only six species play the main role in the fishery, which account for 95% of the total catch in the reservoir: cod, haddock, polar cod, sea ​​bass, herring and capelin.

The average fish productivity in the Barents Sea is about 4.5 kg/ha (about four times higher than in the White Sea). At the end of the 70s of this century, the catches in the Barents Sea were maximum and reached almost 0.9 million tons, but later they were significantly reduced as a result of excessive “pressure” of fishing and the low yield of generations of fish such as capelin, herring, cod, haddock, sea bass, etc. The ratio of species in catches also changed: for example, if before 1976 the basis of the catch of the USSR was cod and sea bass valuable in nutrition, then after 1977 capelin became the basis of catches (70-90% of catches ). Later, capelin stocks also dropped sharply, which caused an indirect “hit” to cod, since capelin is the main food for cod. In addition, during capelin fishing with small-mesh fishing gear, juveniles of other valuable fish species were caught in large numbers. As a result of all this, the Barents Sea has lost its former great economic importance for us, but after the restoration of stocks of valuable species, this value, presumably, will be restored.
