The North Atlantic and Arctic Fauna
Material for a faunistic investigation of mass occurrences of sponges (Porifera) and the associated fauna along the shelf edge of the North Atlantic has been collected off Norway, the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland, and the samples have been worked up. A project with the title "The northeast Greenland marine benthic fauna - faunistics, systematic composition and zoogeographical relationships" has been initiated. The aim is to provide a faunistic survey of the benthic fauna (0.5 mm) in a high arctic Fjord (Independence Fjord) opening directly into the Polar Sea, and to place the marine benthic fauna off North Greenland in a zoogeographical context by comparison with the fauna in neighbouring areas (A.B. Klitgaard).
A completely revised and much enlarged edition of the book "Havfisk og Fiskeri" by Bent Muus & Preben Dahlstrøm has been prepared for publication in a number of European languages (B. Muus, with J. Nielsen, Vertebrate Department).
