We investigated the abundance, trophic position, and linkages to basal energy sources of the non-indigenous prawn Palaemon elegans in shallow (0.5-1.6 m) stony habitats of the exposed coast of the SE Baltic Sea. Prawn abundance at the site with artificial stone was higher than that in the natural st...
