We are focusing on the sustainable development of inland aquaculture including economic, social and environmental issues. Our main research area is to develop new innovative fish culture methods and enhance the profitability of the traditional pond aquaculture. In the frame of this R&D work we conduct trials on fish reproduction biology, nutrition (including functional foods, sustainable aqua feeds) and ethology. Beside of applied research on fish biology we place emphasis on describing the ecological services of inland fish farms and adapt state of the art fish culture systems like recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and aquaponics to the local conditions.
