Current research
I am a Ph.D. student in the CASCADES-project – Understanding human-induced trophic cascades in coastal ecosystems. I study the ecological effects of harvesting wild wrasse for use in aquaculture and whether potential changes in wrasse abundance can affect other species (such as blue mussels) through interactions in the coastal food web.
Research Interests
Anthropogenic influences on coastal marine ecosystems and ecosystem dynamics
