Jan will also highlight his studies focusing on the trophic ecology of key species in the changing Bornholm Basins and western Baltic Sea, including a time series of benthic versus pelagic resource use by cod over a period of spreading anoxia obtained by cod otolith protein stable isotope analysis, and close with a brief discussion of future perspectives.
