The effects of biomass depth distribution on phytoplankton spring bloom dynamics and composition in an Arctic fjord
Fjord systems are among the most productive and best described of Arctic marine habitats. Contributing substantially to that overall productivity, spring phytoplankton blooms are one of the most important features of fjord systems and of mid- and high-latitude oceans in general. Understanding specific mechanisms that control the timing, magnitude, and composition of these blooms is among the most central, and yet unresolved, questions within biol…
Can a key boreal Calanus copepod species now complete its life-cycle in the Arctic? Evidence and implications for Arctic food-webs
The changing Arctic environment is affecting zooplankton that support its abundant wildlife. We examined how these changes are influencing a key zooplankton species, Calanus finmarchicus , principally found in the North Atlantic but expatriated to the Arctic. Close to the ice-edge in the Fram Strait, we identified areas that, since the 1980s, are increasingly favourable to C. finmarchicus . Field-sampling revealed part of the population there to …
Shine a light
The Arctic marine ecosystem is shaped by the seasonality of the solar cycle, spanning from 24-h light at the sea surface in summer to 24-h darkness in winter. The amount of light available for under-ice ecosystems is the result of different physical and biological processes that affect its path through atmosphere, snow, sea ice and water. In this article, we review the present state of knowledge of the abiotic (clouds, sea ice, snow, suspended ma…
Sea Ice, Ice Drift, and Oceanic Circulation
The episodic freezing over of the surface waters is arguably the most striking feature of the Southern and Arctic Oceans as well as some subarctic oceans such as the Baltic and Okhotsk Seas. Millions of square kilometers of ocean are covered by ephemeral layers of ice that are on average less than 1 m thick. This pack ice is highly dynamic, drifting on the underlying ocean currents, and its distribution is greatly influenced by prevailing winds. …

First Records of Atlantic Mackerel ( Scomber scombrus ) from the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway, with Possible Explanations for the Extension of Its Distribution
Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) were recorded in Isfjorden, Svalbard (78 ̊15ʹ N, 15 ̊11ʹ E) in late September 2013. This record is the northernmost known occurrence of mackerel in the Arctic and represents a possible northward expansion (of ca. 5 ̊ latitude) of its distributional range. The examined specimens of mackerel were between 7 and 11 years old, with a mean size of 39 cm and a mean weight of 0.5 kg. Examination of stomach contents in…
