We investigated pigment and mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) concentrations of phytoplankton and Northern krill ( Thysanoessa sp.) in sub-Arctic Kongsfjorden. Chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentrations in the surface and middle-layer water were 0.44 μg L −1 (±0.17 μg L −1 ) and 0.63 μg L −1 (±0.25 μg L −...
