Since more than 12 years we are following benthic life in the fjord basins. Every year in spring we come back to the same six stations in the sub-Arctic Saltfjord and Skjerstadfjord and sample the fauna living in the cold mud.

We have just finished the first part of an experimental study with the cold-water coral Desmpophyllum pertusum. We exposed the corals to a combination of two chemicals commonly used in aquaculture \u2013 Azamethiphos (an anti-sea lice bath treatment) and Tralopyril (an new anti-fouling agent to prevent growth of organisms on farm nets).

How important are larvae of benthic species as a food source for fish larvae?

We held a workshop on meroplankton identification at the fieldstation of Nord University, where Marc Silberberger (National Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Gdansk, Poland) gave an introduction about the diversity of meroplankton. In the project MarFilD we study seasonal and interannual changes of meroplankton in sub-Arctic fjords and assess how meroplankton<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
