Project title: Population Biology

Coordinator: S. Olenin
Programme: EU FP6 INCO
Contract: 03-51-5458
2004-2007

The project has 3 main directions:

biology and habitats of a single species of shrimp in the White Sea and the North Sea,
comparative biology of related species of same genus in the North and Baltic Seas, which are also commercially fished;
study of the genetic structure of the the shrimp populations of faunistic purposes and commersial exploitation.

The role of KU CORPI is to to investigate benthic habitats siutable for C. allmanni in the White Sea.
