Variations in coastal fish species composition captured by traps in Romsdalsfjord, Western Norway
- 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 monitored i...

Twenty-three fish species were captured by traps in coastal waters, both resident and migratory fishes.
