Component projects
Zooplankton studies:
Co-ordinators: Olafur Asthorsson, Ulf Båmstedt
Z1:Distribution, abundance, and species composition of
zooplankton in cross-frontal and cross-ridge transects of the
mid-Atlantic Ridge. PIs: Tone Falkenhaug, Webjørn Melle (Norway)
Z2:Feeding behaviour and swimming mode of gelatinous zooplankton
and nekton. PIs: Ulf Båmstedt (Sweden), Marsh Youngbluth (USA)
Z4: Trophic structure of major copepods, euphausids and fish larvae
across the mid-Atlantic Ridge. PI: Asthor Gislasson (Iceland)
Pelagic nekton studies:
Co-ordinators: Uwe Piatkowski, Olav Rune Godø
PN1:Longitudinal and latitudinal changes in mesopelagic/ bathypelagic
nektonic fauna (fish, cephalopods and crustaceans) along MAR.
PIs: Uwe Piatkowski (Germany), Tracey Sutton (USA)
PN2:Interactions of mesopelagic and bathypelagic fauna with the
benthopelagic community associated with MAR seamounts/ slopes.
PI: Åge Høines (Norway), Bernd Christiansen (Germany).
Associated study (PN3):
Cetacean and seabird distribution, migration
and behaviour (Skov, Nøttestad, Waring)
Demersal nekton studies:
Co-ordinator: Franz Uiblein
DN1:Distribution patterns and species composition of demersal fishes
in relation to habitat variability on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. PIs: Franz
Uiblein (Austria), Ingvar Huse (Norway).
DN2:Spatial genetic structure of deep-sea fish
from the North Atlantic. PI: A. Rus Hoelzel (UK)
DN3:Epibenthic and Benthopelagic (Demersal) Invertebrate
communities, distribution and ecology. PI: David Billett (UK).
DN4: Life history studies of demersal fishes. PI: Maurice Clarke (Irel.)
