Contact Us Front Page Oceans Giant Crab 'Red Army' Invades Norway James Owen for National Geographic News March 9, 2004 First introduced to the Barents Sea off northern Russia in the 1960s, red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus) are now spilling down western Norway by the millions. Some fear these massive crabs, native to Alaskan seas and the North Pacific, could reach as far south as Spain and Portugal, devouring almost everything in their path. Some fishing communities in northern Norway say the crab, among the largest in the world, has already had a devastating impact. "The bloody things Hoover [vacuum] everything off the bottom of the sea, and all the fish are disappearing," one resident from the town of Kirkenes told the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph. WWF Norway says the crab's population has increased sixfold since 1995. The environmental group puts the current population at at least 12 million in the Barents Sea alone. The group says that any economic benefits derived from this population explosion may be vastly outweighed by the long-term cost to the marine environment. "Absolutely nothing has been done by Norwegian authorities to mitigate the impacts of the red king crab," WWF Norway said in a prepared statement.

Contact Us Front Page Oceans Giant Crab 'Red Army' Invades Norway The crab is now reported to have reached the Lofoten Islands, about a third of the way down the Norwegian coast, having traveled some 400 miles (680 kilometers) since the early 1990s. "It is spreading much faster that we anticipated," Sundet said. He notes that the crab's recent population explosion parallels that of some other alien species, where rapid growth occurs only after a relatively long period, during which an animal becomes established. In its native North Pacific, where seabed competition is tougher, red king crabs have ventured as far south as northern Japan, which is on the same latitude as southern European countries. Estimates by scientists of the potential southern limit for the species in Europe vary widely. Some say the Lofoten Islands, some the North Sea, and some Portugal. Crab Management WWF Norway says the Norwegian government's management policy towards the species has been to maximize population size to increase potential catches, while ignoring the possible consequences for the marine environment.

Geography History Culture Current Issues ... Chinese New Years Geography of Sweden Sweden is located in the northern part of Europe on the Scandinavian Peninsula between the mountains in the north and the seas to the south. The Scandinavian Mountains in the north form the border between Norway and Sweden. Sweden has a lot of space with almost 450,000 square kilometres. The shape of Sweden is long and narrow, measuring about 1,600 km (995 miles) long and about 500 km (310 km) wide. Sweden has 1600 km of coastline and contains many islands. More than half of the country is forested with thick woods. The forests consist of many spruce, fir and pine trees and in the south there is also beech, elm, maple, and oak trees. Sweden is rich in minerals and has many rivers and almost 100,000 lakes. Regions Northern Sweden is called Norrland. This area is rich with dense forests, waterfalls and reindeer. This is where you will see the midnight sun (the summer has nearly 24 hours of daylight), the northern lights and lots of rivers, lakes and snow. Norrland covers about half of Sweden.

Norway has a total area of 125,057 square miles (323,895 kilometers) including the many arms of the sea that penetrate inland. Norway is 1,089 miles (1,753 kilometers) in length but only about 250 miles (400 kilometers) at its widest point. Norway is bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the west the North Sea, on the south the Skagerrak Straits, and on the east by Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The length of the coastline, not including the islands and fjords it is about 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) long. Norway is very mountainous. (Many mountains) Norway has very few areas of flatland. About 80 percent the country is above 1,500 feet (460 kilometers) in height. Much of the southern part of Norway consists of a high plateau penetrated by valleys and fjords. The largest fjord is the Sognafjorden which is 114 miles (183 kilometers) inland. The fjords were originally valleys scooped out by glaciers. They are very, very deep. On the Plateau there are areas of high mountains. The largest area is Jotunheimen. Jotunheimen contains Norway's two highest mountains Galdhopiggen (8,100 feet, or 2,469 meters) and Glittertinden (8,104 feet, or 2,470 meters). There are more than 1,500 glaciers in Norway. The largest is Jostedalsbreen west of Jotunheimen.
