Serdar Sakinan

Serdar Sakinan is a Researcher specializing in marine ecology, with a focus on pelagic species and Arctic ecosystem dynamics. His work spans acoustic surveys, zooplankton-predator interactions, and climate impact studies in the North Sea, Wadden Sea, and central Arctic Ocean.

• Key projects: HERAS (North Sea herring), MOSAiC expedition (Arctic ecosystems)
• Expertise: Acoustic survey methods, vertical migration, habitat use, and food web modeling
• Collaborations: Involved in multidisciplinary studies aboard RV TRIDENS and POLARSTERN cruise PS122

His recent publications examine polar cod diets, copepod dispersal mechanisms, and tern foraging patterns in the Wadden Sea. He leads initiatives integrating underwater cameras and high-resolution acoustic techniques into marine research, with contributions to datasets on Arctic oceanography and zooplankton abundance.
