The polar cod (Boreogadus saida<\/em>) is the only strictly arctic pelagic fish species in the Barents Sea. It is adapted to Arctic water masses, with temperatures down to the freezing point. The cold water defines its available habitat. The amount of polar cod may give an indication of the conditions for an Arctic fish population in the Barents Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
