Amphipod crustaceans were collected at all 55 stations sampled with an epibenthic sledge during two IceAGE
expeditions (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) in 2011 and 2013. In total, 34 amphipod
families and three superfamilies were recorded in the samples. Distribution maps are presented for each taxon
along with a summary of the regional taxonomy for the group. Statistical analyses based on presence/absence
data revealed a pattern of family distributions that correlated with sampling depth. Clustering according
to the geographic location of the stations (northernmost North Atlantic Sea and Arctic Ocean) can also be
observed. IceAGE data for the Amphilochidae and Oedicerotidae were analysed on species level; in case of
the Amphilochidae they were compared to the findings from a previous Icelandic benthic survey, BIOICE
(Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic waters), which also identified a high abundance of amphipod fauna.< Leer menos
