A summary of the research topics in the field of work “aquaculture":

• Studies on new process technologies for trout production
• Development and suitability test for combining intensive production and a static pond (the “pond-in-pond principle”)
• Using net cages in open-cast lignite mining lakes
• Studies on redesigning trout raceway systems into water saving, partly closed recirculation systems 
• Optimising the breeding of pike-perches using dry feed
• Breeding whitefish using the pond-in-pond principle
• Developing and checking the performance of a self-cleaning inert gas denitrification reactor (SID reactor) for closed recirculation systems when keeping types of fish that react sensitively to nitrate
• Dry feed from preserved by-products for processing freshwater fish and using them for carnivorous aquaculture candidates
• Vitamin D content in commercial fish bred in Germany – studies on the effects of the environment where the fish are kept and approaches to increasing vitamin D levels
