life cycles. Our research covers three main areas: Stress physiology: We use decapod crustaceans (lobsters, shrimps, and crabs) as model systems to study how early life stages cope with climate driven changes

areas, using ecological key species (e.g. the native European oyster Ostrea edulis, the European lobster Homarus gammarus) as model organisms. We are investigating physiological quality of Ostrea edulis

organisms will also be specifically incorporated. These include mesopredators such as the European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ), as well as top predators such as Thornback ray ( Raja clavata ). The aim is
