Variations in coastal fish species composition captured by traps in Romsdalsfjord, Western Norway
Abstract Fish traps are widely used in Norwegian fjords, especially those designed for monitoring salmonid populations in the marine environment, although many other marine fish species are also captured. The composition and spatio-temporal variations of fish species captured by fish traps were moni...
