Aim of the Phd study • Baltic cod food chain and the reproductive success • Lipid dynamics in cod • Lipid dynamics in sprat and herring • Lipid dynamics in plankton Effects of fatty acid composition on spawning time and egg- and larval quality Comparisons between ecosystems, and between wild and captive cod fed dry feed with different lipid composition Improvement of egg and larvae quality in cod farming through enhanced broodstock feed
