The Census of Marine Life pilot project PATTERNS AND PROCESSES OF THE ECOSYSTEMS OF THE NORTHERN MID- ATLANTIC

Area: Iceland – Azores Taxa/components: Pelagic, benthopelagic and epibenthic macrofauna. Fishes, cephalopods, gelatinous plankton, crustaceans. Planning phase: Field phase: Analytical phase:
