In addition, first analysis of the sampled material showed a high density of larval and juvenile stages of fish species. This highlights the presence of some species rarely observed, and featured a large amount of unicellular algae, showing a high primary production and stimulating further research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Congratulations to all teams involved!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"images \">\n<div><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.langleyholdings.com\/en-GB\/images\/8718\/laura-bassi.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/picture>\n<p class=\"caption\">Icebreaker R\/V Laura Bassi on their record-achieving voyage to the southernmost point ever reached by a ship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"block-66836 \" class=\" image-text    \">\n<div>\n<div class=\"text text-content\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"text-small\"><strong>About Bergen Engines<br \/>\n<\/strong>Bergen Engines produces medium-speed liquid and gas fueled engines and generator sets to a broad range of land-based, commercial marine, and naval applications. The Bergen name is a watchword for quality and reliability in its field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-small\">The tradition of engineering in Bergen, Norway, dates to 1855 when the original company Bergen Mekaniske Verksted (BMV) was founded. In 1946, the company built its first diesel engine and has since commissioned over 7,500 of its iconic liquid and gas fueled engines. Around half of them are still in operation today; such is the quality and reliability of a Bergen engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-small\">From 1999, Bergen Engines AS was owned by the British aerospace and defense group, Rolls-Royce plc.
