Raking Them In

Dr. Geir Huse, of the Norway-based Institute of Marine Research, collected fish brought aboard the Norwegian research ship G.O. Sars while a crew member looked on. Huse used the MULTPELT (Multipurpose Pelagic Ecosystem Trawl) net during an early summer cruise from Norway to Iceland, Greenland and back. WHOI scientists Peter Wiebe, Cabell Davis, and graduate student Melissa Patrician participated on the cruise, which was part of the EURO-BASIN (Basin-scale Analysis, Synthesis & Integration) study, an international effort to understand how climate changes impact ecosystems in the North Atlantic.
