It remains to be seen. It's not a yes or no question, but the question has been raised as to whether there will be a commercially viable fishery in the central Arctic Ocean. Part of that questioning is, of course, related to ice cover. Even with the reduction in multi-year ice, annual ice can be very dangerous, so it's not necessarily a particularly attractive place for fishers to go. As well there are the issues of safety and insurance, which can be economic disincentives.
From an ecological perspective, the central basin is very deep. It doesn't have some of the habitat features that tend to be attractive to some of the subarctic species that might be moving into the area. The experts think that some of the areas that will probably be attractive earlier are the shelf areas, in other words, areas within national jurisdictions.
