Abstract

Many areas in the Arctic are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We observe large-scale effects on physical, biological, economic and social parameters, including ice cover, species distributions, economic activity and regional governance frameworks. Arctic living marine resources are affected in various ways. A holistic understanding of these effects requires a multidisciplinary enterprise. We synthesize relevant research, from oceanography and ecology, via economics, to political science and international law. We find that multidisciplinary research can enhance our understanding and promote new questions and issues relating to impacts and outcomes of climate change in the Arctic. Such issues include recent insights on changing spawning migrations of the North-east Arctic cod stock that necessitates revisions of socioeconomic estimates of ecosystem wealth in the Barents Sea, better integrated prediction systems that require increased cooperation between experts on climate prediction and ecosystem modelling, and institutional complexities of Arctic governance that require enhanced coordination.

北极海洋生物资源的多学科视角

北极的许多地区很容易受到气候变化的影响。我们观察到对物理、生物、经济和社会参数的大规模影响，包括冰盖、物种分布、经济活动和区域治理框架。北极海洋生物资源受到多方面的影响。对这些影响的全面理解需要一个多学科的企业。我们综合相关研究，从海洋学和生态学，通过经济学，政治学和国际法。我们发现，多学科研究可以增强我们对北极气候变化影响和结果的理解，并提出新的问题和议题。这些问题包括最近关于北极东北部鳕鱼种群产卵迁移变化的见解，这需要对巴伦支海生态系统财富的社会经济估计进行修订，需要在气候预测和生态系统建模方面加强专家之间合作的更好的综合预测系统，以及需要加强协调的北极治理制度复杂性。

期刊介绍： Since 1982, Polar Research has been the international, peer-reviewed journal of the Norwegian Polar Institute, Norway''s central institution for research, environmental monitoring and mapping of the polar regions. Aiming to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge about the Arctic and Antarctic across disciplinary boundaries, Polar Research serves an international community of researchers and managers. As an open-access journal, Polar Research makes its contents freely available to the general public. Original primary research papers comprise the mainstay of Polar Research. Review articles, brief research notes, letters to the editor and book reviews are also included. Special issues are published from time to time. The scope of Polar Research encompasses research in all scientific disciplines relevant to the polar regions. These include, but are not limited to, the subfields of biology, ecology, geology, oceanography, glaciology and atmospheric science. Submissions from the social sciences and those focusing on polar management and policy issues are welcome. Contributions about Antarctica are particularly encouraged.
