• Ice Cod Arctogadus glacialis (Peters, 1874) in Northeast Greenland—A First Sketch of Spatial Occurrence and Abundance 

      Karamushko, Oleg V.; Lynghammar, Arve; Schou Christiansen, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-17)
      Based on bottom trawl catches during the years 2002–2017, we present the first large-scale baseline on the spatial distribution and abundance of ice cod Arctogadus glacialis (Peters, 1874) in the fjords and on the shelf in Northeast Greenland (latitudes 70 °N–78 °N). Ice cod abundance peaked in the secluded sill fjords such as Bessel Fjord, Brede Fjord, Clavering Ø fjord system and Kong Oscar Fjord ...
    • Spatial occurrence and abundance of marine zooplankton in Northeast Greenland 

      Beroujon, Théo; Schou Christiansen, Jørgen; Norrbin, Fredrika (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-20)
      We present a large-scale survey of mesozooplankton (size range 0.2–20 mm) across coastal, shelf, and slope locations in Northeast Greenland (latitudes 74–79° N, August 2015 and September 2017). Our study is centred on the Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) for non-invasive in situ observations of taxa distribution and abundance while simultaneously recording oceanographic profiles. A modified WP-2 plankton ...
    • Vertical redistribution of principle water masses on the Northeast Greenland Shelf 

      Gjelstrup, Caroline V.B.; Sejr, Mikael K.; de Steur, Laura; Schou Christiansen, Jørgen; Granskog, Mats A.; Koch, Boris P.; Møller, Eva Friis; Winding, Mie H.S.; Stedmon, Colin A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-10)
      The Northeast Greenland shelf (NEGS) is a recipient of Polar Water (PW) from the Arctic Ocean, Greenland Ice Sheet melt, and Atlantic Water (AW). Here, we compile hydrographical measurements to quantify long-term changes in fjords and coastal waters. We find a profound change in the vertical distribution of water masses, with AW shoaling >60 m and PW thinning >50 m since early 2000’s. The properties ...
