Some quantitative results on benthic communities of the deep Norwegian Sea

In July-August 1975 a joint French-Swedish expedition (NORBI) with Norwegian participation explored the abyssal benthic fauna of the Norwegian sea about which previous knowledge was fragmentary. Sampling was carried out in depths between 2465 and 3718 m at 11 stations located in all four deep basins...

Description
Summary:In July-August 1975 a joint French-Swedish expedition (NORBI) with Norwegian participation explored the abyssal benthic fauna of the Norwegian sea about which previous knowledge was fragmentary. Sampling was carried out in depths between 2465 and 3718 m at 11 stations located in all four deep basins, viz the Norwegian (3), Lofoten (2), Spitsbergen (1), and Greenland (5) basins. The gears used were box corer, epibenthic sled, beam trawl, baited trap, and camera sed. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] Les communautés benthiques des quatre bassins de la Mer de Norvège au-delà de 2000 m de profondeur ont été étudiées en utilisant quatre engins de prélèvement: le carottier Reineck de 600 cm² la drague épibenthique, un chalut à perche, et une grande nasse appatée fonctionnant en engin libre. Onze stations comprises entre 2465 et 3718 m ont été explorées dans les bassins de Norvège, des Lofoten, du Spitsberg et du Groenland. [OCR NON CONTRÔLE]
