The last days of October became a hard period for fishing in the Barents Sea because of the heavy weather, with the wind speed reaching 20 m per second and the wave surging to 1.5 m.

In general, specialists point to a dramatic increase of stormy days during the winter season. As a rule, a period of storms lasts several months, ending not earlier than in March.

Despite the fact that such weather conditions significantly hamper the fishery the fishermen have to proceed doing their job in any circumstances.
