| Summary: | No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The three dominant Calanus species, Calanus finmarchicus, C. glacialis, and C. hyperboreus, were sampled at different locations along the Arctic Marginal Ice Zone (different types and ages of ice) around Svalbard and in Kongsfjorden, an Arctic fjord. High-Arctic Scaphocalanus magnus, a calanoid copepod, and an ostracod, Conchoecia borealis, were sampled only at the MIZ sites. Changes and difference in the lipid biochemistry (deposition of lipid classes and biomarkers) were used to investigate the different species under different physical regimes and potentially different food regimes. Stage V C. hyperboreus, for example, show greater lipid deposition at the MIZ-multipleyear old ice site compared to other sites. Stage V C. hyperboreus sampled at ice sites also have higher amounts of TAG and wax esters than at the fjord site. Site specific differences in the fatty acid composition were evident in the three calanoid species reflecting the ... |
