Research with Fisheries Ecology and Aquaculture
The members of the research group cover research from the organism level to the population and ecosystem levels with theoretical, experimental, and field oriented approaches. The activity links findings from controlled laboratory experiments with observed responses under natural field conditions and full scale culture conditions. Mesocosms are used as a suitable experimental level to link the understanding of processes determined in the laboratory with those prevailing under natural conditions. Read more.
