Description

This dataset includes observations of benthic organisms from Isfjorden, Billefjorden, Kongsfjorden, Magdalenafjorden and the marginal ice zone (MIZ). The organisms were collected using benthic trawls. The trawls were done in April 2023, during a field trip on F/F Helmer Hanssen for students in the AB202 course at UNIS. The benthos were described to the lowest possible taxonomic level by the students.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Fjords in Svalbard: Isfjorden, Billefjorden, Kongsfjorden, Magdalenafjorden. The marginal ice zone northwest of Spitzbergen.

Sampling

The benthos were collected using benthic trawls. The trawl was out for around 15 minutes at each location, which approximately was 1,5 km. The benthos were sorted out and identified.

Method steps

The benthos were identified by students under the supervision of professors, using morphological keys.
