Arctic scavenging communities

Scavenging communities at the seafloor play important roles in recycling organic material and converting it to biomass that is again available to easily enter the food chain. This film presents amphipods scavenging on herring bait on the seafloor in Rijpfjorden. Svalbard”. (Photo: Andrew Sweetman and Kathy Dunlop).

    ​Arctic scavenging communities in transition?

    Scavenging communities at the seafloor play important roles in recycling organic material and converting it to biomass that is again available to easily enter the food chain. The dynamics of carrion recycling by scavengers has been studies in some detail in deep-sea habitats but has less often been addressed in shallower waters, especially in the Arctic.
