Although the seasonal ice cover of the Baltic Sea has many similarities to its oceanic counterpart in Polar Seas and Oceans, there are many unique characteristics that mainly …
The extensive pack and fast ice that forms in both Antarctic and Arctic regions provides a unique habitat for polar microbial assemblages (reviewed by Mock & Thomas, 2005). Algal …
Abstract The Baltic Sea is one of the world's largest brackish water basins and is traditionally considered to be species poor. Here, we assessed the diversity of the nano-sized eukaryotic …
In search for sea ice bacteria and their phages from the Baltic Sea ice, two ice samples were collected from land-fast ice in a south-west Finland coastal site in February and March 2011 …
Polar regions are warming more rapidly than lower latitudes, and climate models predict that this trend will continue into the coming decades. Despite these observations and …
Sea-ice samples intended for biological analyses, eg, chlorophyll-a, cell enumeration of algae and protozoa and primary production, are affected by the sampling and sample …
In this study, we support previous work showing that a normalized difference index (NDI) using two spectral bands of transmitted irradiance (478 and 490 nm) can be used as a non …

Snow-covered sea ice plays a significant role in the ecology of the Arctic marine system and is a critical habitat for ice-adapted ringed seals; however, limited research has focused on …
We examined the dark survival strategy of the cold-water dinoflagellate Scrippsiella hangoei from the Baltic Sea. Cultures of S. hangoei were placed in dark and light and we followed …
