This is the first study to determine vertical distribution patterns of sympagic meiofauna, including metazoans, protozoans and eggs >20 μm, in the Amundsen Gulf (southeastern Beaufort Sea, Arctic). Full sea-ice cores were sampled from mid of March to end of May 2008 (Circumpolar Flaw Lead system study). Investigations were performed on first-year ice from three pack- and three fast-ice stations. Additionally, 5-cm bottom-ice sections were sampled at 13 pack-ice and 5 fast-ice stations. The metazoan community was composed of nematodes, rotifers, copepods, copepod nauplii, platyhelminthes and a few rare taxa such as mollusks, cnidarians and nemerteans. High numbers of eggs, between 50 and 2,188 eggs L−1, particularly of nematodes and copepods, were present in the ice. Investigations revealed also eggs of the pelagic speciesCalanus hyperboreusandSagittaspp. within the ice, so that further research is needed to clarify whether more organisms than expected might use this habitat as a reproduction ground. Many different morphotypes of protozoans were observed in the samples, especially ciliates of the order Euplotida. The highest abundance was always found in the lowermost 5 cm of the ice cores, nevertheless sympagic meiofauna was not restricted to that part of the ice. Integrated meiofauna abundance ranged between 41 and 4,738 × 102Ind. m−2and was highest in the fast ice in early May. Differences between pack and fast ice in terms of integrated meiofauna communities and vertical distribution were not significant, while the analysis of the bottom-ice sections indicated both a temporal development and ice-type-specific differences.
