TUNU-I EXPEDITION The Fish Fauna of the NE Greenland Fjord Systems
In October 2002, we had a brief opportunity to survey the marine fish fauna in two selected fjords- i.e. Dove Bugt (77 ° N) and Godthåb Golf (74 ° N)- in NE Greenland (Haug et al. 2002). Given the warming trends reported for the Arctic region in recent years, studies of the fish fauna in the fjords...
