Aquaculture and Fisheries Group
It is our mission to be leading in academic research and education on sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries, with a focus on society relevant questions and on the interactions between aquatic organisms and their environment. We address, in particular, nutrition and health in aquaculture systems and adaptation of fishes and fisheries to changes in the environment.
Agenda
News
Aquaculture Research
We study (shell)fish nutrition and health in preferably, circular aquaculture production systems, be it recirculating or ponds.
Fisheries Research
We study the ecology of freshwater and marine fish species and the adaptation of fishes and fisheries to changing circumstances.

We participate in education at BSc and MSc level, often closely aligned with our research. We are well represented in the MSc programs of MAS, MBI, MAM and AquaH (Erasmus Mundus)
Training Workshops
We regularly organise post-graduate courses and workshops on fish vaccination, nutrition and RAS.
