The Aquakulturinfo project was based at IGB from October 2012 to March 2025. During this period, the editorial responsibility lay with the Institute. The aim of the project was to provide research-based information and background on various aspects of aquaculture to the interested public.

The Aquakulturinfo portal was closed after the end of the project. Parts of the articles on aquaculture topics and species developed in the project will be further used externally by the Fish Information Centre (FIZ) e. V. from April 2025. IGB is no longer responsible for the content and is not involved in any further work.

Feed the fish – environmentally friendly, please!

By choosing the right food, you can do a lot for your own health – and also contribute to more or less environmentally friendly consumption. This also applies to fish and their food. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) are working on feed for aquaculture and aquaponics. Their aim is to optimise the nutrition of fish and at the same time protect the environment.
