Abstract: With rising global temperatures, the extent to which sea ice covers the Arctic has decreased gradually each year. With declines in global fishery resources, we are seeing increased international interest and research conducted by countries seeking to exploit potentially new Artic fisheries. Although the Arctic fish biomass and diversity are not rich compared with other regions, it is possible that new large-scale fisheries could be developed with the retreat of sea ice. Based on existing literature and FAO statistics, we analyze the status of Arctic fisheries resources, and suggest strategies for developing fisheriest.
