LSL2002-23 Macrofauna Data [Bluhm]
This dataset investigates the macrobenthos of the Canada Basin, which is one of the biologically least known areas of the Arctic deep sea. Macro-infauna was collected with 11 box cores at six stations ranging from 640 to 3250 m water depth between 16 August 2002 and 5 September 2002. Total abundance...
