TL;DR: Kongsfjorden is a glacial fjord in the Arctic (Svalbard) that is influenced by both Atlantic and Arctic water masses and harbours a mixture of boreal and Arctic flora and fauna as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of blooms, algal food quality and Calanus glacialis reproduction and growth in a changing Arctic
TL;DR: An extensive field study in the Arctic shelf seas followed the seasonal biomass development of ice algae and phytoplankton and their food quality in terms of their relative PUFA content to identify a potential mismatch between the two primary production peaks of high-quality food and the reproductive cycle of key Arctic grazers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipids and life strategy of Arctic Calanus
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Arctic Calanus species are herbivores, engineered to feed on the Arctic bloom, and that the timing of the bloom is the most important factor in determining the life strategies of the individual species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food webs and carbon flux in the Barents Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and quantify the key ecosystem components and basic food web structure of the Barents Sea, focusing on the energy flow through the ecosystem from an end-to-end perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of changing sea-ice cover for primary and secondary producers in the European Arctic shelf seas: Timing, quantity, and quality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that both a too early and a too late ice breakup can cause a mismatch between primary and secondary producers, with negative consequences for the entire lipid-based Arctic marine food web.
