Aquaculture research
The Aquaculture Research group is part of the AWI bioeconomy section. We develop new products and systems that are used in aquaculture in Germany and around the world.
Our focus is to improve knowledge for sustainable aquaculture production which guarantees animal welfare, social and economic viability and acceptance. Economic productivity and food security are always an important aspect of our concepts.
