  1. Remarks to macrobenthic investigation of the Siberian shelf seas and deep Arctic basins Hendrik Deubel, Michael Klages, Eike Rachor Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, Germany

  3. General objectives • Analysis of the structure, species composition, abundance and biomass of biological communities. • Investigation for food preferences of character species. How much organic carbon is utilized by the macrozoobenthos per time unit? • How important is the input of freshwater for the biological communities? • Biochemical investigations on the lipid metabolism. • Model for energy flow and trophic relations between the pelagic and benthic systems.

  4. Macrobenthic biomass[AFDW] Kara Sea (southern) Laptev Sea (northern) Arctic Ocean (central) Polychaeta Mollusca Crustacea Echinodermata others

  5. Distribution of the macrofauna along the continental slope (≈147°E) species number Depth [m] others Sipunculida Cnidaria Echinodermata abundance / m2 Depth [m] Crustacea Mollusca Polychaeta depth Depth [m] biomass [AFDW g/m2]
