3. Fisheries research cooperation with Russia Contact between Norwegian and Russian scientists since 1887 ( Knipovitch in Oslo with R/V «Andrey Pervozvanny» and meet with Nansen og Hjort in 1898) More ore less formalized cooperation last 50 years Joint surveys for abundance estimaton of fish and shellfish Coordination of research on biological resources Joint programs and projects Joint symposias (biannual) Exchange of scientists end technical experts Exchange between bibliothecs Implementation of requests from the Joint Norwegian Russian fishery commission
