Marine bivalve molluscs of Svalbard
The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is situated between latitudes 74 and 81”N and longitudes 10 and 3YE, on the boundary of three seas: the Greenland, the Barents and the Arctic Sea. A significant part in the surface circulation is played by the Norwegian Current, a branch of the warm North Atlant...
