NAPROPERA aims to reduce fish losses in aquaculture industry by improving the hygiene condition through correct application of peracetic acid (PAA)-based disinfectants. Although PAA is approved in EU for organic aquaculture production in the presence of fish, its application in aquaculture practice stays rather experimental and lacks control measures. NAPROPERA works on a solution to fill this gap.

We are proud to host a number of researchers (interns, doctoral candidates, Postdocs) that come with their own funding.

In this project, the effect of climate change on the physical processes of lakes will be investigated. Several lakes with a diverse set of boundary conditions (e. g. differing mean depth or different wind exposure) will be instrumented with logger chains. They will measure temperature and oxygen in high resolution and make it possible to resolve changes in physical conditions in response to varying climatic forcing.  In addition to direct measurements, numerical models can be used to reproduce water temperatures in lakes.
