SUMMARY<br />

This report presents an inventory <strong>of</strong> <strong>marine</strong>, <strong>benthic</strong> <strong>macro</strong>-<strong>organisms</strong> (algae, evertebr<strong>at</strong>es,<br />

fish) from the areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>Svalbard</strong> (including Bear Island) and Jan Mayen. D<strong>at</strong>a (species<br />

records) from published and unpublished sources are presented and compiled in a d<strong>at</strong>abase<br />

using the programme ACCESS. The d<strong>at</strong>abase contains also the geographical co-ordin<strong>at</strong>es <strong>of</strong><br />

the sampling loc<strong>at</strong>ion from which the different taxa are recorded as well as some inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

about the species and ecological conditions. The d<strong>at</strong>abase is adapted to function as a basis for<br />

a biogeographical analysis. This report is a present<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> m<strong>at</strong>erial and examples which can<br />

be extracted from the d<strong>at</strong>abase.<br />

This work is part <strong>of</strong> a larger work whose goal is to map <strong>marine</strong> “n<strong>at</strong>ure values” near <strong>Svalbard</strong><br />

(including Bear Island) and Jan Mayen.<br />

SAMMENDRAG<br />

I dette arbeidet presenteres d<strong>at</strong>a fra en kartlegging av <strong>marine</strong>, bunnlevende makro-organismer<br />

(alger, evertebr<strong>at</strong>er og fisk) ved <strong>Svalbard</strong> (inkludert Bjørnøya) og Jan Mayen. D<strong>at</strong>a fra<br />

publiserte og upubliserte arbeider om funnsted for registrerte arter er lagt inn i en d<strong>at</strong>abase<br />

basert på programmet ACCESS. D<strong>at</strong>abasen inneholder også økologisk informasjon som kan<br />

rel<strong>at</strong>eres til artene og funnstedene. D<strong>at</strong>abasen er bl.a. konstruert slik <strong>at</strong> det er mulig å<br />

gjennomføre en biogeografisk analyse. I denne rapporten er utdrag av d<strong>at</strong>abasen presentert i<br />

figurer og tabeller. Det er spesielt lagt vekt på forekomst og hyppighet av arter.<br />

Dette arbeidet inngår i et større arbeid hvor målet er å kartlegge marinbiologiske n<strong>at</strong>urverdier<br />

rundt <strong>Svalbard</strong> (inkludert Bjørnøya) og Jan Mayen.<br />
