The construction of wind farms introduces artificial hard substrates in sandy sediments. As Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) and pouting ( Trisopterus luscus ) tend to aggregate in order to feed around these reefs, energy profiling and trophic markers were applied to study their feeding ecology in a wi...
