Abiotic parameters and abundances, dominance and diversity of benthic macro- and meiofauna in Kongsfjord, Spitsbergen

The intertidal and subtidal soft bottom macro- and meiofauna of a glacier fjord on Spitsbergen was studied after complete ice melt in June 2003. The abundances of the benthic fauna were within the range reported from estuaries and similar intertidal areas of boreal regions. The high proportion of ju...
