BIOPHYSICAL OCEAN RESEARCH EXPEDITIONS

FS FRIEDRICH HEINCKE

How can fish reproduction and recruitment studies provide information about ocean's living resources and be valuable for ocean conservations strategies?

FFS ANTHON DOHRN

Are fish diseases and parasites linked to anthropogenic marine impacts on the Baltic Sea ecosystem? Does global climate change (i.e. accumulation of atmospheric greenhouse gases) have major effects on ocean's living resources?

RV CAPE HATTERAS

How do oceanographers study  distribution and reproduction biology of organisms in offshore waters below the surface zone? Does this study contribute to our knowledge of biomass production in the Atlantic ocean?

DR ALSHUTH'S OCEANOGRAPHIC RESEARCH IN ATLANTIC OCEAN, MEDITERRANEAN, NORTH SEA & BALTIC SEA

RV NEREIS

FS UTHÖRN

FS ALKOR

Do biodiversity studies of invertebrates, pelagic and demersal fish communities contribute to our knowledge of biomass production in the Baltic Sea? Can changes in global climate impact marine ecosystem diversity and the living resources that they contain?

Can quantitative multispecies assessments methods be used for ocean conservation regulations in the Mediterranean region? How do we study biodiversity of marine ecosystems and their reaction to global change?

Can offshore ichthyoplankton research performed onboard the research vessel FS UTHÖRN be used for long-term studies of fish reproduction and recruitment ecology and be valuable for ocean resource management?
