What thrives between the waves and beneath the tides? – Marine Biology Research sails into its second decade

Figures & data

Figure. This sea spider Colossendeis proboscidea (Sabine, 1824) (Colossendeidae, Pycnogonida) was collected with bottom trawl during an ecosystem survey with RV Johan Hjort in the Barents Sea in August 2006 (Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway; www.imr.no). Several specimens of this species were also collected by beam trawl during research cruises in support of the Norwegian MAREANO seafloor mapping and sampling programme (Buhl-Mortensen et al. 2015; Ringvold et al. 2015).
