Information has been gathered on the distribution of benthic invertebrates at some 400 stations throughout the NSR. This information has been collected during a period of nearly 100 years, and most of the samples has been collected by the Zoological Institute (ZISP), St. Petersburg. The collection of ZISP contain material from more than one hundred expeditions to the NSR area, starting in 1895. A limited nukber of surveys have been carried out in the eastern parts of the NSR, and currently material from the Chukchi Sea collected in 1976,1988,1989 and 1995 has been identified at the ZISP. Information includes station information, a full taxonomic species list and with reference to each station .
