One of the Swedish squadrons was led by Wrangel on Smålands Lejon and the other under vice admiral Peter Blum on Draken.

The Danish-Norwegian fleet was divided in two squadrons under admiral Pros Mund on Patentia and Joachim Grabow on Lindormen.

The last man-of-war Tre Løver veered off, but was pursued by Anckarhielm's Dutch Jupiter, Patentia and Swarte Arent.

The smaller Danish vessels Tu Løver, Havhesten, and Fides were captured by Dutch Jupiter and Groote Dolphijn.

A cluster of Danish ships were forced against the shore of Lolland, among them Neptunus, Nellebladet, Stormarn, and Kronet Fisk.

Even if transshipping Torstensson's soldiers to the Danish islands was no longer a threat, since these were now intent on meeting general Gallas' Imperial troops approaching from the south, the Danes realized that Sweden had total naval dominance after the battle.
