morphological types (cocci, rods and vibrio). Total bacterial number and biomass
was calculated in accordance with Norland (1993). To verify the hypothesis of
differences between parameters of two fjords, the t-Student test was applied.

Salinity ranged from 30.1 to 34.7 in Hornsund and from 31.0 to 34.8 in Kongsfjorden. Fjord water temperature varied from 2.4 to 5.4 °C in Kongsfjorden (mean
3.6 °C) and from 1.6 to 5.4 °C in Hornsund (mean 2.9 °C) (Fig. 2).
