Ojaveer is studying the spatial distribution pattern of this exotic species in Lake Ontario by estimating its abundance and biomass values. This visit has been very important for my scientific career and future academic work. I hope this cooperation will continue. The second fellow, Jevgenijs Cernihovics, is from the Laboratory of Ecology at Daugavpils Pedagogical University in Latvia. He is specifically interested in identifying sets of water quality indicators that can be used to compare North American approaches to environmental quality management with those of the Baltic Sea basin.
