      Heggland, Kristin; Ottesen, Camilla; Berge, Jørgen (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2012-04)
      <p>The demersal fish species <i>Leptagonus decagonus</i> (Atlantic poacher) is a commonly encountered species on the continental shelf in the Barents Sea and around Svalbard, but little is known about the life-history and population traits of the species in Svalbard waters. It is therefore important to investigate this species to understand its importance in the ecosystem. <p>A total of 80 specimens ...
    • Pelagic food-webs in a changing Arctic: a trait-based perspective suggests a mode of resilience

      Arctic marine ecosystems support fisheries of significant and increasing economic and nutritional value. Commercial stocks are sustained by pelagic food webs with relatively few keystone taxa mediating energy transfer to higher trophic levels, and it remains largely unknown how these taxa will be affected by changing climate and the influx of boreal taxa. <i>Calanus</i> species store large quantities ...
