Short summary
Climate change, human activity and biodiversity loss are rapidly altering Arctic marine ecosystems. We measured body size and weight of common seafloor animals in southeast Greenland to create reliable conversion factors (slopes), allowing biomass to be estimated from non-destructive images. These data include key Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem species and provide a baseline to improve monitoring, support future research, and reduce disturbance to sensitive habitats.
