Abstract

This data was collected during a AB-202 Helmer Hanssen field cruise in the spring of 2023. The cruise lasted from 26.04-01.05. The stations were Kongsfjorden (KB3), Magdalenafjorden (MAG), marginal ice zone (MIZ) and Billefjorden (BAB). The data was collected with a benthic trawl at each of the stations.

Methods

Method step description: Took benthic trawl. Sorted fish. Identified fish. Took subsamples. Dissecated and took measurements of the fish and organs. 
Study extent description: The study sites were Kongsfjorden (KB3), Magdalenafjorden (MAG), marginal ice zone (MIZ) and Billefjorden (BAB). The samples were taken with benthic trawls. 

Sampling description: The fish was collected for sampling via bottom trawl and was conducted on four different days and locations. The mean travel speed was 3 and the trawling lasted for approximately 15 minutes. The benthic trawls was a Campelen 1800 bottom trawl (mesh size 10 mm), with trawl door spread 48-52 m and opening height 4.5-5.2 m.
