The present project tests ecophysiology of the invasive crab R. harrisii in the Baltic Sea. Life cycle stages will be studied in the context of environmental parameters in field surveys and laboratory experiments, to allow unique fine-scale predictions of R. harrisii distribution at different life cycle stages, and experimental tests of causes. Further extensive field observations and laboratory studies of the species will inform our understanding of its impact on habitat forming species that facilitate marine biota including fisheries species that will be the focus of the facilitation study. The comparisons made of larval to adult stages at spatiotemporal level in context to physical and biological factors will throw light on future invasion pattern of alien species in the Baltic Sea. The experiments on habitat forming species will allow us to know effects of invasion pressure on local species. The results will be used for strategic management planning of Baltic Sea invasive species.
