Researchers with Robert Arlinghaus have summarized how technical innovations can affect anglers, fisheries management and fish populations. 29 March 2021 press release Less light – for more insects From 5 to 12 April 2021 is the International Dark Sky Week. We want to draw attention to the issue of light pollution. Researchers from IGB are studying the effects of artificial light on insects. 23 February 2021 press release Fishing promotes small, shy fish Fishing primarily removes larger and more active fish from populations. It thus acts as a selection factor that favours shy fish, as a recent study by IGB shows. 11 February 2021 press release Defeating the enemy within According to scientific theories, clonal vertebrates actually have a harder time succeeding than species that reproduce sexually. The Amazon molly proves otherwise. It has found a way to deal with the challenges of its origin and reproduction. 28 January 2021 press release Acid rain is yesterday’s news? Acid rain seems to be a thing of the past, yet sulphate continues to rise in many inland waters worldwide. A new study provides an overview of the sources of sulphate and its effects on freshwater ecosystems. 17 December 2020 press release Europe's rivers fragmented by one million barriers A Nature study with the IGB shows: Europe has some of the most fragmented rivers in the world. Small transverse structures with an impoundment height of less than two metres account for the lion's share. 16 December 2020 press release Researchers warn: Plans to regulate the River Oder endanger rare habitats and species as well as agriculture The new IGB Policy Brief shows that an expansion of the River Oder would threaten many species and habitats. The plans violate current EU law and endanger not only the environment but also agriculture on both sides of the River Oder. 24 November 2020 press release Discovery of a genetic sex marker in sturgeon Scientists led by IGB have discovered a molecular marker for sex determination in sturgeon. This is a significant breakthrough for evolutionary biology, for species conservation and for caviar-producing aquaculture. 19 November 2020 press release Giant aquatic bacterium is a master of adaptation The largest freshwater bacterium, Achromatium oxaliferum, is highly flexible in its requirements, as Danny Ionescu has now discovered. 24 October 2020 press release Hydropower: the mortality risk for fish at turbines IGB has presented a procedure for the assessment of fish mortality at hydroelectric power plants. The researchers advise against subsidising small hydropower plants unless adequate fish protection is implemented.
