In total, all years inclusive of 2014, an area of 157 585 km2 has been sampled by MAREANO:

  • 2014: 21 305 km2, of which 6 030 km2 in the Norwegian Sea, 9 275 km2 off the coast of Finnmark County in the Barents Sea, and 6 000 km2 in the central parts of the Barents Sea.
  • 2013: 28 925 km2, where 10 025 km2 was sampled in the Norwegian Sea without video data (re. 2012 below), and 6 900 km2 inclusive of video data. 12 000 km2 was sampled in the central parts of the Barents Sea.
  • 2012: 21 055 km2 was mapped,of which 3 600 km2 mapped at Nordland VI (see also 2010 and 2011) and 17 455 km2 video-mapped in the Norwegian Sea, mid-Norwegian shelf (Iverryggen, Sularevet, slope Storegga north, Kristiansund – Halten and Mørebanken). Out of these 17 455 km2 mapped in the Norwegian Sea, 7500 km2 was additionally mapped by using physical sampling (grab, beamtrawl, sled, multicorer). The remaining areas for physical sampling, 9 955 km2, is to be sampled in 2013.
