The aim of this study was to estimate the influence of climatic factors (temperature anomalies and parameters of the global atmospheric circulation winter North Atlantic oscillation indices, NAO) on the abundance of juvenile red king crab in the coastal waters of the Barents Sea. Age group 0–2 year-old crabs accounted for 5 to 100% of the total abundance. Its stock increased with the mean water temperature. The stock of 3–5 year-old crabs decreased with increase of water temperature (with a shift of 1 year ago) and the NAO index (with a shift of 2 year ago)
