...of younger and smaller individuals in the zooplankton community become more bountiful, the amount of energy available for fish has withered. "It seems that the large-sized zooplankton of the northern Baltic are suffering from changes in the phytoplankton communities, combined with other stressors, such as climate warming, decrease of salinity and increase of planktivorous fish, caused by e g., overfishing of the large predatory fish" , says Suikkanen

What we desperately need in order to identify the genes is a genetic transformation system. Several labsincluding my ownare aggressively working on this."
