Abstract
Abstract The paper focuses attention on the 90th anniversary (last year) of the start of modern fisheries research in the Barents Sea. In 1898 the ichthyologist N. M. Knipovich initiated the “Expedition for Fisheries Research off the Coasts of Murman,”; carrying out survey work from a small sailing vessel, Pomor. But in 1899 Knipovich took delivery of a specially designed and specially built fisheries research vessel, Andrey Pervozvannyy and in that summer the ship completed her first season of field work. During the next decade the vessel carried out an impressive range of surveys of the fisheries and the oceanography of the Barents Sea, and acted as a valuable training ground for an impressive group of young scientists.
