The western, sea ice-dominated, part of Fram Strait proved to have short, late (middle May) and time varying phytoplankton blooms. At the marginal sea ice zone of the western Fram Strait a stratification induced by sea-ice melt was shown to have promoted phytoplankton growth, which resulted in the enhanced [...] physical environment on phytoplankton blooms: a case study in the Fram Strait , Journal of Marine Systems, 132 , pp. 196-207. doi: 10.1016/j.jmarsys.2013.11.008 , hdl:10013/epic.42744 Cherkasheva, A. ,
