Pelagic amphipods represent a large fraction of organisms entering sediment traps as so-called “swimmers.” These swimmers were sampled with sediment traps (∼200–300 m water depth) with two mooring arrays deployed at two different positions in the Long-Term Ecological Research observatory HAUSGARTEN in the northeastern Fram Strait. This sampling allowed us to investigate amphipod year-round abundances and inter-annual trends from 2000 onward. In this study, newly analyzed data from a 3-years period (August 2011–June 2014) are presented, extending this long-term investigation. In our results, the species
