Short description of research profile

The main objectives of our research in the field of marine biology and ecology covers mainly:

  • The biology and ecology of phytoplankton and bacteria, especially cyanobacteria and their role in toxin production,
  • Ecology and physiology of coastal ichthyofauna with a focus on alien species in the Baltic,
  • A polyphasic approach for the taxonomy of bacteria and cyanobacteria,
  • Endoliths - biodiversity and function in the environment,
  • Macrophyte hologenome - interactions between epiphytes and macrophytes,
  • Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of macroalgae,
  • Barcoding of estuarine macrophytes,
  • Finfish aquaculture,
  • Fish genetics and reproduction,
  • Production of triploid sterile fish
