I work as a PhD-student in ecology. Right now, I investigate how fish stocks are affected by modern recreational fishing. I also study small- and large-scale migration of coastal fish in the Baltic Sea.

I work in the following projects:

Catch-and-release fishing - an invisible threat to aquatic ecosystems?

Meet the fish!

My research groups
