Short summary
We observed oceanographic and community data from October 2013 to November 2014 in the shallow waters of Kongsfjorden on the western coast of Svalbard (Norway) using remote controlled hydrographic and optic sensors.

A distinct seasonal cycle in total species abundances was found with surprisingly high animal counts during the polar winter.
