Since the Br\u00fcnnich\u2019s guillemot (Uria lomvia<\/em>) feeds on key species in the ecosystem (for example polar cod) and is so abundant, it may be a good indicator for the productivity of the ecosystem. The Br\u00fcnnich\u2019s guillemot makes up the largest proportion of the seabird biomass in the Barents Sea (over 60%). The species is considered as vulnerable<\/em> (VU) in Svalbard and critically endangered<\/em> (CR) on mainland Norway for the Norwegian Red List for Species 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
