Abstract

A juvenile specimen of the scallop, Aequipecten opercularis, was found in 2007 in the eastern part of the Varanger-Fjord, Kola coast of the Barents Sea. The northern range limit of this species has earlier been drawn much more southerly, at the Atlantic coast of Norway. This record is the first in Russia’s waters, probably being related to climate warming in the southern part of the Barents Sea since the early 2000’s.
