This paper includes a check-list of Recent Svalbard marine ostracods based on published sources and on diploma theses as well as some new studies. This is the first study of this group of crustaceans from Hornsund. A total of 41 species belonging to 12 families were collected at 55 sampling stations from dredged sediments. Seven species are reported for the first time from the Svalbard Archipelago. Polycope orbicularis Sars is the most abundant species in the present fauna. Species compositions of Hornsund and the Liefde- fjorden are seen to have the highest similarity (S = 50.6).

Svalbard archipelago, a high latitude area in a region undergoing rapid climate change, is relatively easily accessible for field research. This makes the fjords of Spitsbergen, its largest island, some of the best studied Arctic coastal areas. This paper aims at answering the question of how climatically diverse the fjords are, and how representative they are for the expected future Arctic diminishing range of seasonal sea-ice. This study uses a meteorological reanalysis, sea surface temperature climatology, and the results of a recent one-year meteorological campaign in Spitsbergen to determine the seasonal differences between different Spitsbergen fjords, as well as the sea water temperature and ice ranges around Svalbard in recent years. The results show that Spitsbergen fjords have diverse seasonal patterns of air temperature due to differences in the SST of the adjacent ocean, and different cloudiness. The sea water temperatures and ice concentrations around Svalbard in recent years are similar to what is expected most of the Arctic coastal areas in the second half of this century. This makes Spitsbergen a unique field study model of the conditions expected in future warmer High Arctic.

Gastrotricha is a cosmopolitan phylum of aquatic and semi-terrestrial invertebrates comprising over 820 described species. Virtually no taxonomic or faunistic data exist on freshwater Gastrotricha of the Arctic. So far, 10 studies have recorded Gastrotricha from the entire area of the Svalbard Archipelago; only in two were gastrotrichs determined to the genus and species levels. The remaining studies only reported the presence of Gastrotricha as a phylum. In this article, I present the results of research on freshwater Gastrotricha from the area of fjord Isfjorden (Spitsbergen, Arctic). The collected material contained representatives of 8 species, 2 subgenera of Chaetonotus namely Chaetonotus (Chaetonotus) Erhenberg, 1830 and Chaetonotus (Hystricochaetonotus) Schwank, 1990, two genera namely Chaetonotus Erhenberg, 1830 and Bifidochaetus Kolicka et Kisielewski, 2016, both belonging to the family Chaetonotidae Gosse, 1864 (sensu Leasi and Todaro, 2008). I describe 3 new species from the Chaetonotidae: Chaetonotus (Chaetonotus) jaceki sp. nov., C. (C.) gelidus sp. nov., and C. (C.) svalbardi sp. nov., together with data on the range, frequency and abundance of all noted species. Furthermore, a record abundance of Gastrotricha was noted, amounting to more than one thousand specimens per 1 cm³ of bottom sediment.

Greenland whales and walruses in the Svalbard food web before and after exploitation

Between 1600 and 1900 two numerous and ecologically important large marine mammals were extirpated in the Svalbard archipelago. These were the pelagic-feeding Greenland whale (Balaena mysticetus) and the benthic-feeding walrus (Odobaenus rosmarus rosmarus), the initial stocks of which prior to exploitation are estimated to have numbered approximately 46 000 and 25 000 animals respectively. Their annual food consumption at that time is estimated to have been some 4 million tons of plankton and 0.4 million tons of benthic organisms. Assuming that the primary and secondary production of the shelf/coastal ecosystem in the 16th century (before the peak of the Little Ice Age) was similar to that of the present day, the authors have concluded that a major shift in the food web must have occurred after the Greenland whales and walruses were eliminated. Planktonivorous seabirds and polar cod (Boreogadus saida) very probably took advantage of the extirpation of the Greenland whales, while eiders (Somateria mollissima) and bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) benefited from the walrus's extinction. In turn, the increased amount of pelagic fish provided food for piscivorous alcids and gulls, and may have given rise to the huge present-day seabird colonies on Svalbard.
