During this year's research cruise from 16-27 June we performed sampling along 6 transects and at 18 stations, using a variety of sampling instruments.
Our first study area was off the coast of Vesterålen islands, where we found high numbers of our key study species, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus. We then moved to study patches of this species at Tromsøflaket, a known fishing hot spot.
