      Bortom trawl data from the depth interval 300-2050 m on the slope off Norway were analysed to study distribution of fish biomass and the associated species assemblages. It is hypothesised that the pronounced hydrographic ...
    • Trophic ecology of deepwater fishes associated with the continental slope of the eastern Norwegian Sea 

      Bergstad, Odd Aksel; Bjelland, Otte (ICES CM Documents;1998/O:51, Working paper, 1998)
      In June 1995 and 1996 demersal fishes on the continental slope of the eastem Norwegian Sea were sampled to study distribution patterns and community structure. The diets of the more abundant slope species were characterised ...
