Changes in Sea-Ice Protist Diversity With Declining Sea Ice in the Arctic Ocean From the 1980s to 2010s
Hop, Haakon; Vihtakari, Mikko; Bluhm, Bodil; Assmy, Philipp; Poulin, Michel; Gradinger, Rolf; Peeken, Ilka; von Quillfeldt, Cecilie; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Zhitina, Ludmila; Melnikov, Igor A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The large declines in Arctic sea-ice age and extent over the last decades could have altered the diversity of sea-ice associated unicellular eukaryotes (referred to as sea-ice protists). A time series from the Russian ... -
Dense mesopelagic sound scattering layer and vertical segregation of pelagic organisms at the Arctic-Atlantic gateway during the midnight sun
Priou, Pierre; Nikolopoulos, Anna; Flores, Hauke; Gradinger, Rolf; Kunisch, Eirin; Katlein, Christian; Castellani, Giulia; Linders, Torsten Theodor; Berge, Jørgen; Fisher, Jonathan A.D.; Geoffroy, Maxime (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Changes in vertical and spatial distributions of zooplankton and small pelagic fish impact the biological carbon pump and the distribution of larger piscivorous fish and marine mammal species. However, their distribution ... -
Early spring subglacial discharge plumes fuel under-ice primary production at a Svalbard tidewater glacier
Vonnahme, Tobias; Persson, Emma; Dietrich, Ulrike; Hejdukova, Eva; Dybwad, Christine; Elster, Josef; Chierici, Melissa; Gradinger, Rolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Subglacial upwelling of nutrient-rich bottom water is known to sustain elevated summer primary production in tidewater-glacier-influenced fjord systems. However, the importance of subglacial upwelling during the early ... -
Ice-algal carbon supports harp and ringed seal diets in the European Arctic: evidence from fatty acid and stable isotope markers
Kunisch, Erin; Graeve, Martin; Gradinger, Rolf; Haug, Tore; Kovacs, Kit M.; Lydersen, Christian; Varpe, Øystein Heggernes; Bluhm, Bodil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sea-ice declines in the European Arctic have led to substantial changes in marine food webs. To better understand the biological implications of these changes, we quantified the contributions of ice-associated and pelagic ... -
Ice-Associated Amphipods in a Pan-Arctic Scenario of Declining Sea Ice
Hop, Haakon; Vihtakari, Mikko; Bluhm, Bodil; Daase, Malin; Gradinger, Rolf; Melnikov, Igor A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sea-ice macrofauna includes ice amphipods and benthic amphipods, as well as mysids. Amphipods are important components of the sympagic food web, which is fuelled by the production of ice algae. Data on the diversity of ... -
Pelagic occurrences of the ice amphipod Apherusa glacialis throughout the Arctic
Kunisch, Erin; Bluhm, Bodil; Daase, Malin; Gradinger, Rolf; Hop, Haakon; Melnikov, Igor A.; Øystein, Varpe; Berge, Jørgen (Others, 2020)Apherusa glacialis is a common, sea ice-associated amphipod found throughout the Arctic Ocean and has long been considered permanently associated with the sea ice habitat. However, pelagic occurrences of A. glacialis have ... -
Seasonal Variability in the Zooplankton Community Structure in a Sub-Arctic Fjord as Revealed by Morphological and Molecular Approaches
Coguiec, Estelle; Ershova, Elizaveta; Daase, Malin; Vonnahme, Tobias R.; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Gradinger, Rolf; Præbel, Kim; Berge, Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Phyto- and zooplankton in Arctic and sub-Arctic seas show very strong seasonal changes in diversity and biomass. Here we document the seasonal variability in the mesozooplankton community structure in a sub-Arctic fjord ...
