Researcher, Marine monitoring department, Hydrobiology laboratory

Zooplankton taxonomist and ecologist Responsible for zooplankton monitoring and data quality, experienced in working with the development and implementation of environmental condition assessment indicators. Primarily studies the pelagic habitat and processes within it. Astra Labuce is interested in the interrelationship of organisms of the lowest trophic levels (food webs) and biological (both taxonomic, functional and genetic) diversity in the marine environment. Works in HELCOM Zooplankton Expert Group (EG ZOO) and HELCOM Food Web Working Group (CG Foodweb), as well as in ICES Zooplankton Ecology Working Group (ICES WGZE) and Baltic Sea Integrated Assessment Working Group (ICES WGIAB).
