A lot of data on the flora of the Barents Sea are scattered in Russian publications and thus are largely inaccessible to many researchers. The study aims to compile a checklist and to verify the species composition of the Rhodophyta of the Barents Sea. The checklist is based on a comprehensive bibliographic study referring to a wide range of data on the species distribution, from the oldest to the most recent, indispensable for analyzing the temporal variability of the Barents Sea flora. A careful revision allows the report of 82 species of Rhodophyta, whereas 36 species have been excluded as belonging to doubtful records or misidentifications. The distribution of seven species in the Barents Sea is clarified. Seventeen species are widespread in the Barents Sea; 11 species are distributed locally. An extensive bibliography and data on the presence of the specimens in the herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences are provided.

巴伦支海（北冰洋）红藻的综合参考书目、更新清单和分布模式

许多关于巴伦支海植物群的数据分散在俄罗斯出版物中，因此许多研究人员基本上无法获得。该研究旨在编制一份清单并验证巴伦支海红藻的物种组成。该清单基于全面的书目研究，涉及物种分布的广泛数据，从最古老的到最新的，对于分析巴伦支海植物群的时间变化是必不可少的。仔细修订允许报告 82 种红藻，而 36 种因属于可疑记录或错误识别而被排除在外。澄清了巴伦支海七种物种的分布。巴伦支海中广泛分布着 17 种；11种在当地分布。
