    Notes: Kongsfjorden is a glacial fjord in the Arctic (Svalbard) that is influenced by both Atlantic and Arctic water masses and harbours a mixture of boreal and Arctic flora and fauna. Inputs from large tidal glaciers create steep environmental gradients in sedimentation and salinity along the length of this fjord. The glacial inputs cause reduced biomass and diversity in the benthic community in the inner fjord. Zooplankton suffers direct mortality from the glacial outflow and primary production is reduced because of limited light levels in the turbid, mixed inner waters. The magnitude of the glacial effects diminishes towards the outer fjord. Kongsfjorden is an important feeding ground for marine mammals and seabirds. Even though the fjord contains some boreal fauna, the prey consumed by upper trophic levels is mainly Arctic organisms. Marine mammals constitute the largest top-predator biomass, but seabirds have the largest energy intake and also export nutrients and energy out of the marine environment. Kongsfjorden has received a lot of research attention in the recent past. The current interest in the fjord is primarily based on the fact that Kongsfjorden is particularly suitable as a site for exploring the impacts of possible climate changes, with Atlantic water influx and melting of tidal glaciers both being linked to climate variability. The pelagic ecosystem is likely to be most sensitive to the Atlantic versus Arctic influence, whereas the benthic ecosystem is more affected by long-term changes in hydrography as well as changes in glacial runoff and sedimentation. Kongsfjorden will be an important Arctic monitoring site over the coming decades and a review of the current knowledge, and a gap analysis, are therefore warranted. Important knowledge gaps include a lack of quantitative data on production, abundance of key prey species, and the role of advection on the biological communities in the fjord.

    Notes: Abstract Baited traps were deployed in the coastal areas of Svalbard (0–175 m), Franz Josef Land (15 and 20 m), Northeast Greenland (6 and 20 m) and Ellesmere Island (2–145 m). The samples were dominated by Lysianassidae (Amphipoda). In the most extensively sampled locality (Hornsund, Svalbard), differences between the necrophagic fauna of the outer and inner basins were observed. Clear depth separations of closely related species of the Anonyx and Onisimus genera were found between 0 and 175 m in Hornsund. Anonyx nugax and Onisimus edwardsi were the only species found in all of the examined localities.

    Absolute and relative abundances of zooplankton taxa in Kongsfjorden during 2002 (2009)

    Description: Seasonal changes in the zooplankton composition of the glacially influenced Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (79°N, 12°E), and its adjacent shelf were studied in 2002. Samples were collected in the spring, summer and autumn in stratified hauls (according to hydrographic characteristics), by means of a 0.180-mm Multi Plankton Sampler. A strong front between the open sea and the fjord waters was observed during the spring, preventing water mass exchange, but was not observed later in the season. The considerable seasonal changes in zooplankton abundance were related to the seasonal variation in hydrographical regime. The total zooplankton abundance during the spring (40-2010 individuals/m**3) was much lower than in the summer and autumn (410-10,560 individuals/m**3). The main factors shaping the zooplankton community in the fjord include: the presence of a local front, advection, the flow pattern and the decreasing depth of the basin in the inner fjord. Presumably these factors regulate the gross pattern of zooplankton density and distribution, and override the importance of biological processes. This study increased our understanding of seasonal processes in fjords, particularly with regard to the strong seasonal variability in the Arctic.

    The Kongsfjorden System - a flagship programme for Ny-Ålesund (2009)

    Description: A Svalbard Science Forum workshop about research on the Kongsfjorden System was held in Ny-Ålesund, 28-31 March 2008. The aim was to discuss focal areas for future research and to initiate the Kongsfjorden System Integrated Research Flagship. Current work and future plans of the individual research groups in Ny-Ålesund related to the Kongsfjorden System were presented. This built the base for identifying knowledge gaps and following future research priorities were identified: There is a great need to combine the atmospheric measurements of long-range pollutants with measurements of the contaminant levels in the biota, to study the feedback mechanisms from the biosphere to the atmosphere and to investigate the interactive effects of rising temperatures and enhanced UV- radiation. Furthermore, knowledge is little about the changes in the pelagic fish community of Kongsfjorden, a monitoring programme for phytoplankton is needed and data on organic carbon mineralization is lacking. Also, the knowledge about water exchange processes in the fjord and small scale turbulences should be improved. Finally, it was suggested to use clams as environmental indicators. Two major infrastructure innovations were suggested, a cabled oceanographic monitoring platform that will allow real-time data retrieval and an integrated comprehensive monitoring station on the central islands within Kongsfjorden to monitor and study the processes on the atmosphere/ocean surface interface. It was also emphasised that a database for long-term data series from the Kongsfjorden System needs to be established and made available for the research community, as well as the metadatabases already established have to be coordinated and further developed. Several initiatives were proposed that will contribute to an integrated approach to better understand the seasonal and annual dynamics of the Kongsfjorden ecosystem in the light of pollutant effects and climate change: The monitoring programme of atmospheric pollution at the Zeppelin Station will be further developed and linked to the marine research activities in order to identify the major drivers influencing the atmosphere/ocean surface interface. This will be supplemented by a marine monitoring platform that will allow real time monitoring of oceanographic and biological parameters in the fjord. The effects of discharges of terrigenous organic carbon and terrestrial particles from permafrost soils on the physiology of benthic organisms will be investigated. It is suggested that Kongsfjorden should be established as a main reference system for studies on the transport patterns of anthropogenic and natural contaminants throughout the marine foodweb and the consequences for the biota communities. Also, the variability of abiotic conditions and the effects on the biota will be addressed. The alteration of algae spring bloom needs to be studied in the light of observed changing oceanographic parameters and the possible consequences for the higher trophic levels. Furthermore, clams will be used as indicators for changes in climate and environmental parameters due to their behavioural modulations as response to environmental parameters. A special emphasis will be to advance the understanding of overwintering strategies of key components of the Kongsfjorden ecosystem.Also, climate data on longer time-scales than the instrumental records are needed to assess the significance of the current warming in the context of the Holocene and to produce more reliable predictions for the future climate.
