• Artificial light during the polar night disrupts Arctic fish and zooplankton behavior down to 200 m depth 

      Berge, Jørgen; Geoffroy, Maxime; Daase, Malin; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Priou, Pierre; Cohen, Jonathan H.; Johnsen, Geir; McKee, David; Kostakis, I; Renaud, Paul E.; Vogedes, Daniel Ludwig; Anderson, Philip J.; Last, Kim; Gauthier, Stephane (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      For organisms that remain active in one of the last undisturbed and pristine dark environments on the planet—the Arctic Polar Night—the moon, stars and aurora borealis may provide important cues to guide distribution and ...
    • Dense mesopelagic sound scattering layer and vertical segregation of pelagic organisms at the Arctic-Atlantic gateway during the midnight sun 

      Priou, Pierre; Nikolopoulos, Anna; Flores, Hauke; Gradinger, Rolf; Kunisch, Eirin; Katlein, Christian; Castellani, Giulia; Linders, Torsten Theodor; Berge, Jørgen; Fisher, Jonathan A.D.; Geoffroy, Maxime (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Changes in vertical and spatial distributions of zooplankton and small pelagic fish impact the biological carbon pump and the distribution of larger piscivorous fish and marine mammal species. However, their distribution ...
    • Pelagic organisms avoid white, blue, and red artificial light from scientific instruments 

      Geoffroy, Maxime; Langbehn, Tom; Priou, Pierre; Varpe, Øystein; Johnsen, Geir; Le Bris, Arnault; Fisher, Jonathan A. D.; Daase, Malin; Mckee, David; Cohen, Jonathan H.; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In situ observations of pelagic fish and zooplankton with optical instruments usually rely on external light sources. However, artificial light may attract or repulse marine organisms, which results in biased measurements. ...
