We study the influence of large-scale atmospheric processes on the cyclic variations of the biomass of anchovy in the Black Sea and analyze the mechanism of action of various ecological factors on its productivity. A conclusion is made that the 4-6-yr periodicity of variations of the biomass of anchovy is caused by the cyclicity of the weather conditions and environmental processes in the Black-Sea basin connected with the North-Atlantic oscillation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
