Abstract:
In the framework of research on impacts of trawling in the western Baltic Sea (DAM pilot mission MGF Baltic Sea), we investigated the population structure of the benthic key species Macoma balthica by measuring shell length to provide the size-frequency distribution in the marine protected area of Rönnebank in the Southern Baltic Sea from June 2023. We obtained samples using vanVeen grabs inside the marine protected areas and reference areas nearby.
