• Annual population dynamics of the small harpacticoid copepod Microsetella norvegica in a high latitude fjord (Balsfjord, Northern Norway) 

      Antonsen, Maria Terese (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-11-16)
      Annual population dynamics and vertical distribution of the small (< 0.6 mm) hapacticoid copepod, Microsetella norvegica, was investigated through monthly sampling at station Svartnes in Balsfjord, Northern Norway from May 2013 to June 2014. M. norvegica is a pelagic particle feeder, and distributed from temperate waters to sub-arctic fjords, but frequently underestimated because of its small size. ...
    • Small copepods matter: Population dynamics of Microsetella norvegica in a high-latitude coastal ecosystem 

      Svensen, Camilla; Antonsen, Maria Terese; Reigstad, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-04)
      We investigated the population dynamics of a small and little-studied harpacticoid copepod, <i>Microsetella norvegica</i>, in a sub-Arctic Norwegian fjord (Balsfjord 69°N). We sampled with a 90 μm mesh WP-2 net and a 20 L Go-Flo bottle and found that the WP-2 under-sampled all juvenile stages. The abundance and biomass were high, peaking in June with 9349 × 10-<sup>3</sup> ind. m<sup>−2</sup> and ...
