High concentrations of microplastic (MP) particles have been reported in the Arctic Ocean.
However, studies on the high-resolution lateral and vertical transport of MPs from the …

The Arctic amplification of global warming is causing the Arctic-Atlantic ice edge to retreat at
unprecedented rates. Here we show how variability and change in sea ice cover in the …

The effects of oil spills on marine biological systems are of great concern, especially in
regions with high biological production of harvested resources such as in the Northeastern …

Abstract Variability in the Barents Sea ice cover on interannual and longer time scales has
previously been shown to be governed by oceanic heat transport. Based on analysis of …

Plastic litter is accumulating on pristine northern European beaches, including the European
Arctic, and questions remain about the exact origins and sources. Here we investigate …

At high latitudes, the suitable window for timing reproductive events is particularly narrow,
promoting tight synchrony between trophic levels. Climate change may disrupt this …

Salmon lice infestation is a major challenge for the aquaculture industry in Norway,
threatening wild salmonid populations and causing welfare problems for farmed salmon …

Abstract The Barents Sea and its marine ecosystem is exposed to many different processes
related to the seasonal light variability, formation and melting of sea-ice, wind-induced …

A key process affecting variation in the recruitment of fish into fisheries is the spatio-temporal
overlap between prey and predator (match-mismatch hypothesis, MMH). The Northeast …

Data on copepodid abundance and stage composition of Calanus finmarchicus was
collected with seasonal resolution (5–6 times a year) from four stations along an …
