Snake pipefish (Entelurus aequoreus) intrusion as a new species into the Barents Sea ecosystem.
The snake pipefish Entelurus aequoreus is a member of the Syngnathidae family. The open water species is distributed in the eastern Atlantic, from the Azores to Iceland and Norway, including the Baltic Sea. Concentrations of snake pipefish were observed for the first time in the Barents Sea in Augus...
