Research interests

My field of interest includes ecology & recruitment mechanisms of marine fishes in the Baltic Sea, in particular life history traits & adaptations to brackish conditions, including effects of both natural variability and human impacts, with the aim to contribute to the management of the Baltic Sea fish community. Species studied include cod and sprat (earlier) and flatfishes (at present).
