Abstract
Amphipod crustaceans were collected at all 55 stations sampled with an epibenthic sledge during two IceAGE expeditions (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) in 2011 and 2013. In total, 34 amphipod families and three superfamilies were recorded in the samples. Distribution maps are presented for each taxon along with a summary of the regional taxonomy for the group. Statistical analyses based on presence/absence data revealed a pattern of family distributions that correlated with sampling depth. Clustering according to the geographic location of the stations (northernmost North Atlantic Sea and Arctic Ocean) can also be observed. IceAGE data for the Amphilochidae and Oedicerotidae were analysed on species level; in case of the Amphilochidae they were compared to the findings from a previous Icelandic benthic survey, BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic waters), which also identified a high abundance of amphipod fauna.

Financial support was given from the Volkswagenstiftung “Forschung in Museen” to organise the first sorting workshop in Wilhelmshaven July 2016. The second workshop in Spała (Poland) was organised with the support from the internal funds of the University of Lodz and the enthusiasm of all travelling experts. This paper would not be in this special Issue of ZooKeys without the support of the Volkswagenstiftung. Special thanks go to Antje Fischer, who always offered her technical support to solve all issues looking out for vials in the storage rooms and made specimens available to all experts involved at any time. Technical help was also provided by Karen Jeskulke solving all database issues and requests. Leon Kobe did his school practical days during the workshop in Wilhelmshaven and was a great help organizing the workshop as well as Charlotte Brenneken, who provided her student helper assistance in database entries of sorting protocols during this workshop. We thank all workshop participants who could not contribute to paper writing for their participation and sorting effort during the workshops, namely Stas Malavin, Paulina Dębiec and Josh Hatton. Without the enthusiasm of Magda Błażewicz and her team the second workshop in Spała would not have been possible. Species level identification for Oedicerotidae and Amphilochidae was enabled by the Volkswagenstiftung allowing Anne-Nina Lörz, Bente Stransky, and Saskia Brix to invite the specialists for these groups to the DZMB Hamburg for research visits in April 2017 (Lauren Hughes and Ed Hendrycks) and June and August 2017 (Anne Helene S. Tandberg). Travel funds for Tammy Horton were provided by the EU ATLANTOS program. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 633211. Alan Myers is thanked for his helpful and constructive review comments on our manuscript.
