Marine Arctic fish diversity and habitat ecology (Aristotle) Aims at improving current knowledge on the fish fauna in the Kongsfjorden. Two complimentary approaches are applied: i) genetic analysis at chromosomal level; ii) use of non-invasive video technologies to study fish communities. List of fish species and pertaining biologic information (size, weight, sex).

The aim of this project is to detect the presence of NIMS and door knocker species in marine coastal waters of Svalbard by using a traditional fishing system (traps) and complementary multi-approach monitoring techniques (underwater cameras, hydrophones and an eDNA collector) to find all elusive or cryptic species and those present at low density.
