Josianne G. Støttrup is a senior research scientist and science coordinator for the research area Marine Habitats at the Danish Technical University, National Institute of Aquatic Resources. Dr. J. Støttrup started out on aquaculture working with marine fish larval nutrition and the use of copepods as live prey and moved on to lead and coordinate the stock enhancement and restocking program in 1994. The research area now covers structure and function of coastal habitats, coastal fish population dynamics, recreational and coastal commercial fisheries as well as Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) and Systems Approach in management.
