Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) Starting in Reykjavik on the 27th August 2011 we went into the Iceland Basin for the first transect from the deep sea to the southern shelf close to the vulcano eruptions from 2010 and 2011. After a succesful sampling on this first transect we crossed the Reykjanes Ridge. A deviation due to illness of one scientist was made going back to Reykjavik on the September 5th. Stationwork was continued in the evening of the same day and we finished the second transect from the deep sea of the Irminger Basin to the westicelandic shelf in the second week. Stormy weather condition made it necessary to hide in the westicelandic fjords for two days. The third transect could be started on Tuesday, September 13th and we got good samples as well from both sides of the Denmark Street comparing the faunal elements of the icelandic and greenlandic shelf. The fourth and last transect of the expedition started in the deep sea of the Norwegian Basin and ended on the easticelandic shelf on September 23rd 2011. The main aim of the expedition was to sample the icelandic marine fauna from the shelf down the slope to the deep-sea basins surrounding Iceland. This sampling grid allows to develop a genetic inventory and a diversity baseline study along geographical barriers like the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge or the bathymetric gradients from shelf to the abyss. Parallel to the sampling of the marine fauna with different gears (multicorer, boxcorer, epibenthic sledge, trawl and plankton net), the abiotic parameters of each station were measured with a CTD. Multibeam and Parasound data gave an overview about the seafloor structure. These information about abiotic parameters combined with station data and occurrence of species will be the basic dataset for ecological modeling.
