      There is very little knowledge related to how floating windfarms effect the marine environment as this is such a new “product”. Thus, the data that we gathered on this cruise will be novel in that sense. The aim of the cruise was to look at possible effects of the windfarm on the marine environment. Based on limited cruise time and tough weather conditions around Hywind Tampen we had to be selective ...
    • Diversity of hard-bottom fauna relative to environmental gradients in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 

      Voronkov, Andrey; Hop, Haakon; Gulliksen, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      A baseline study of hard-bottom zoobenthos in relation to environmental gradients in Kongsfjorden, a glacial fjord in Svalbard, is presented, based on collections from 1996 to 1998. The total species richness in 62 samples from 0 to 30 m depth along five transects was 403 species. Because 32 taxa could not be identified to species level and because 11 species are probably new to science, the ...
    • Hard-bottom benthic ecosystem in Kongsfjorden, a glacial fjord in the Arctic. 

      Voronkov, Andrey (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-06-04)
      Subtidal hard-bottom habitats constitute substantial parts of the Arctic fjord ecosystem. There is a deficiency in complex faunistic surveys of the composition of hard-bottom fauna in the Arctic. The aim of this study was to increase the understanding of how animals are distributed on hard-bottom and their role in the marine ecosystem in the Arctic. A baseline study of hard-bottom zoobenthos in ...
    • Hydrozoan diversity on hard bottom in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 

      Voronkov, Andrey; Stepanjants, S.D.; Hop, Haakon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Hydroids in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, were studied on five hard-bottom transects along gradients of environmental conditions from the glacier at the fjord’s head to the fjord’s mouth at depth-range 0–30 m. Hydrozoa colonies are widely distributed on rock and gravel substrata in Kongsfjorden. In general, however, hydroids are not dominant or subdominant in zoobenthic communities. The exception is ...
