Euphausiid (krill) and amphipod dynamics were studied during 2006–2011 by use of plankton nets in Kongsfjorden (79�N) and adjacent waters, also including limited sampling in Isfjorden (78�N) and Rijpfjorden (80�N). The objectives of the study were to assess how variations in physical characteristics...
