The distribution of benthic hydrographic indicator species in Svalbard waters, 1978–1981
Fourteen species of benthic invertebrates, found to be indicators of hydrographic conditions by Blacker (1957), were recorded during research cruises between Finmark and north Spitsbergen during the summers of 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981. The distributions were compared with those found during surveys...
