Species from more southerly [...] water, ice thickness, water mass movement and biological data on the activity of ice algae and phytoplankton during winter months are crucial to better understand the physical and biogeochemical processes [...] velocity distribution, temperature, salinity, and stratification. Ice-algae and free floating phytoplankton produce enormous amounts of biomass. Reduced sea ice cover and sea ice thickness could change

on marine biodiversity. Notably, changes in phytoplankton composition are expected to have consequences that ripple through entire food webs. Phytoplankton are photosynthetic microorganisms that account [...] for marine ecosystem function and resulting ecosystem services. As a consequence, c hanges in phytoplankton community structure and biogeography (range shifts) as a response to climate change are currently

In addition, we show a comparison between imagery-based results and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)-based phytoplankton size structure [...] uncertainties in the pigment-based analysis of phytoplankton community. Building the expertise for collection, management, and application of automated phytoplankton imagery data will allow application of this
