Reference excerpt

The Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography (Russian: Полярный научно-исследовательский институт морского рыбного хозяйства и океанографии имени Н. М. Книповича), its acronym being PINRO (Russian: ПИНРО), is one of several research institutes of Russia subordinate to the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries (Rosrybolovstvo). It is based in Murmansk. It is named for Nikolai Knipovich.

History

The institute was created on March 10, 1921 as the Floating Marine Research Institute (Plavmornin). It was preceded (though not directly) by the Imperial Russian organization Murman Scientific Fisheries Expedition, which existed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and conducted early research with the vessel Saint Andrew. Between 1929 and 1933, the Institute was named State Oceanographic Institute of the USSR (SOI). Since 1935, it has borne the name of fisheries science pioneer Nikolai Knipovich. During the German invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II (called, in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) the Institute was evacuated to Arkhangelsk. The Institute's main expedition ship Perseus, which had been with the Institute since its early days and undertaken close to 100 expeditions, was sunk by German air raiders in the early days of the war. The Perseus's flag, showing a stylized representation of the Perseus constellation, remains the Institute's symbol to this day.

Activities The main task of the team of scientists of the institute is conducting annual studies to help determine the total allowable catch of commercial fish species, invertebrates, algae and marine mammals. The main focus is on cod, haddock, capelin, herring, Greenland halibut, the Barents Sea population of the Kamchatka crab, and salmon. The Institute's area of responsibility includes the northern waters near European Russia – the Barents Sea, the Kara Sea, the White Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the Greenland Sea and the Northwest Atlantic Ocean – as well as freshwater lakes in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk Regions, the Komi Republic, and the Nenets Autonomous District.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography

In research: Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1921 establishments in Russia, Cultural heritage monuments in Murmansk Oblast, Fisheries agencies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nikolai M. Knipovich Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
