Climate change will influence the seafood industry!

Once again, a polychaete species has been discovered in samples from a MAREANO survey. The new species has been named Scalibregma hanseni and was collected in subzero temperatures at 765 meter depth from the continental slope in the Norwegian Sea.

Even good things have to come to an end and now the Myanmar cruise with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen is over. We have been at sea for 6 weeks and it has been an amazing survey in many ways. We have seen an astonishing biodiversity of fish with wonderful colours and remarkable shapes. We have conducted 150 trawl hauls, 100 plankton hauls and 200 environmental stations (salinity, temperature, fluorescence and oxygen). We have taken more than 500 high resolution pictures of all the fish and crustaceans species caught and we have preserved some fish for further species identification.
