Abstract
Based on the material collected in the expeditions conducted by MMBI in 2019, new data on the distribution of polychaete communities in the area of Western Spitsbergen was obtained, complimenting and refining the results of previous studies. Species complexes of polychaetes have been identified in the study area. The composition of said complexes is mainly determined by the complexity of seabed topography shaping the constitution and structure of the sediment, coupled with specifics of the hydrological regime as a result of Atlantic and Arctic water mass interaction. The distribution of polychaete communities is compared with the results of previous studies.
