The main aim of the cruise is to investigate the horizontal and vertical distribution of abiotic factors as well as planktonic and benthic components along the environmental salinity gradient, from the Baltic Sea to the Kattegatt and Skagerrak regions. This includes data collection on temperature, salinity and oxygen as well as chl a, phytoplankton, mesozooplankton, macroplankton and macrozoobenthos. The hypothesis for the students is to test whether the Remane鈥檚 concept holds for both, pelagic and benthic communities. The second main goal is to demonstrate students how to do science on a research vessel. Eight students of the 鈥淏iological oceanography鈥 (M.Sc.) course will be permanently trained by three staff scientists. To strengthen the student鈥檚 network, a day-visit to the Sven Lov茅n Centre for Marine Sciences in Kristineberg is organized. Finally M.Sc. students of Marine Science at Gothenburg University visit RV POSEIDON.
