Component projectsZooplankton studies:
Co-ordinators: Olafur Asthorsson, Ulf Båmstedt
Z1:Distribution, abundance, and species composition of zooplankton in cross-frontal and cross-ridge transects of the mid-Atlantic Ridge. PIs: Tone Falkenhaug, Webjørn Melle (Norway) Z2:Feeding behaviour and swimming mode of gelatinous zooplankton and nekton. PIs: Ulf Båmstedt (Sweden), Marsh Youngbluth (USA) Z4: Trophic structure of major copepods, euphausids and fish larvae across the mid-Atlantic Ridge. PI: Asthor Gislasson (Iceland)
Pelagic nekton studies:
Co-ordinators: Uwe Piatkowski, Olav Rune Godø PN1:Longitudinal and latitudinal changes in mesopelagic/ bathypelagicnektonic fauna (fish, cephalopods and crustaceans) along MAR.PIs: Uwe Piatkowski (Germany), Tracey Sutton (USA)
PN2:Interactions of mesopelagic and bathypelagic fauna with the benthopelagic community associated with MAR seamounts/ slopes.PI: Åge Høines (Norway), Bernd Christiansen (Germany).
Associated study (PN3):Cetacean and seabird distribution, migrationand behaviour (Skov, Nøttestad, Waring)
Demersal nekton studies:Co-ordinator: Franz Uiblein
DN1:Distribution patterns and species composition of demersal fishesin relation to habitat variability on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. PIs: FranzUiblein (Austria), Ingvar Huse (Norway). DN2:Spatial genetic structure of deep-sea fishfrom the North Atlantic. PI: A. Rus Hoelzel (UK) DN3:Epibenthic and Benthopelagic (Demersal) Invertebrate communities, distribution and ecology. PI: David Billett (UK). DN4: Life history studies of demersal fishes. PI: Maurice Clarke (Irel.)
