non-indigenous species

Our main research topics are: (1) zoobenthos with a special emphasis on species as well functional diversity, (2) biology, ecology and ecophysiology of benthic invertebrates with a special emphasis on non-indigenous species and anthropogenic pressure (3) innovative aquaculture with a special emphasis on recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and invertebrates. We work in the field, mainly in coastal waters, and conduct laboratory research based on an experimental approach.

• Behavioural, physiological and biochemical diversity of benthic invertebrates
• Structural and functional diversity of benthic communities in the Gulf of Gdańsk
• Non-indigenous species in the southern Baltic Sea (distribution and spreading,  adaptation to new environment and monitoring methods)
