Vimal Koul is a researcher in Hamburg and will visit us virtually.  
 
 In this talk, I will discuss the challenges and recent progress in predicting fish stocks in the North and Barents Sea. I will show an application of a decadal prediction system to predict cod biomass a decade in advance. In particular, the impact of Atlantic water on Barents Sea cod stock in enabling decade long predictions will be highlighted. The forecast of cod stocks in these shelf seas in the context of dynamically predicted ocean temperatures and various fishing mortality scenarios will also be presented.
