Aim of the Phd study Baltic cod food chain and the reproductive success Lipid dynamics in cod Lipid dynamics in sprat and herring Lipid dynamics in plankton Comparisons between ecosystems, and between wild and captive cod fed dry feed with different lipid composition Effects of fatty acid composition on spawning time and egg- and larval quality Improvement of egg and larvae quality in cod farming through enhanced broodstock feed
Declined reproductive success of Baltic cod Köster F.W. et al., ICES Marine Science Symposia, 219:
