Description
This dataset includes observations of benthic organisms from Isfjorden, Billefjorden, Kongsfjorden, Magdalenafjorden and the marginal ice zone (MIZ). The organisms were collected using benthic trawls. The trawls were done in April 2023, during a field trip on F/F Helmer Hanssen for students in the AB202 course at UNIS. The benthos were described to the lowest possible taxonomic level by the students.
