Fish Biology

 Experiment in fish biology generates new result about developmental characteristics and physiological requirements of fish throughout their life history. We use our results to supply insights into population dynamics and ecosystem functioning, conservation biology also as aquaculture innovation.  Life history of fish and other aquatic organisms often involves a series of developmental stages from gametes, embryos and larvae to juveniles and adults. These life history stages deviate in their biological requirements. DTU Aqua investigates individual characteristics throughout a species’ life cycle, variation among individuals or groups, causes and effects of such variation along side interactions with other organisms and therefore the surrounding environment. We use measurements at the individual level to spot and quantify biological parameters and processes that affect developmental rates, survival probability and reproductive success. These parameters and processes thereby influence population size and distribution, resilience to exploitation and environmental changes also as ecosystem biodiversity. Insight into physiological requirements and tolerance limits also are needed to determine efficient culture conditions for brand spanking new and existing species in aquaculture.
