Previous research suggests that pelagic food webs in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) are highly dependent on ice-associated food sources (Fig. 1), but how prevailing trophic [...] waters, riverine input and marine traffic will bring more anthropogenic pollutants, even to remote Arctic regions, where they are entrained in water and sea ice, and transferred along the marine food chain

However, jellyfish in the world’s oceans could actually benefit from the rising water temperatures – also and especially in the Arctic Ocean, as researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute [...] Institute have now successfully shown. In computer models, they exposed eight widespread Arctic jellyfish species to rising temperatures, sea ice retreat and other changing environmental conditions. The result: [...] triple the size of its habitat – with potentially dramatic consequences for the marine food web and Arctic fish populations. The study was just released in the journal Limnology and Oceanography.
