Knocking on Arctic Door – Svalbard’s NIMS and door knocker fish species in the marine coastal waters Acronym: VECNA

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, plankton net and eDNA collectors) to find all elusive or cryptic species and those present at low density.
