Grab samples data from subarctic fjords in the Norwegian Sea 2013-2015 Citation Tachon M, Austad M, Reiss H, McGovern M, Kokarev V (2025).

Nord University. https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/8814 Contact: Kokarev, Valentin ; Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.Description Macrobenthic dataset for three fjords in Nordland, Northern Norway: Saltfjord, Skjerstadfjord and Sørfolda. At each sampling station (36 stations total), two Van Veen grab (0.1 m2) samples were taken, sieved on a 1 mm mesh, and fixed with 4% buffered formaldehyde. The sorted individuals were identified to the lowest taxon possible (usually species level) and transferred to 70% ethanol. For each taxon, numbers, ind/0.1 m2, and biomass, mg/0.1 m2, are presented. The samples are stored at Nord University (Bodø, Norway) Scope Themes: Biology > Benthos > Macrobenthos Keywords: Marine/Coastal · ANE, Norwegian Sea · EurOBIS calculated BBOX · Local · Occurrence Geographical coverage EurOBIS calculated BBOX Stations Bounding Box Coordinates: MinLong: 14,022; MinLat: 67,1966 - MaxLong: 15,5017; MaxLat: 67,6089 [WGS84] ANE, Norwegian Sea [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage 2013 - 2015 Contributors Related datasets Published in: EurOBIS: European Ocean Biodiversity Information System, more Project DTO - BioFlow: Integration of biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean, more Funding Horizon Europe Grant agreement ID 101112823 Data type: Data Release date: 2025-04-03 Metadatarecord created: 2025-04-10 Information last updated: 2025-05-27 | ||||
