Species richness and distribution of chondrichthyan fishes in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas
The sea ice cover decreases and human activity increases in Arctic waters. Fisheries and bycatch issues, shipping and petroleum exploitation (pollution issues) make it imperative to establish biological baselines for the marine fishes inhabiting the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas (AOAS).

The sea ice cover decreases and human activity increases in Arctic waters.
