Major taxa identified in the sediment traps at (A) 512 m and (B) 1,002 m from July 2022 through June 2023 at the S1 mooring southwest of Svalbard. Taxa are grouped and colored by broad categories (i.e., krill, copepod, crustacean, mollusc, worm, tunicate, jelly, echinoderm) for visual purposes. The first four taxa (enclosed) represent major taxa that may be prey for fin whales.
