Fish keeping in focus: annual conference in Starnberg for pond owners!
Aquaculture is facing exciting times: From January 13th to 14th, 2026, the annual conference for pond owners, operators of aquaculture facilities and fish breeders will take place in the Schlossberghalle in Starnberg. As the Samerberger News reports, the Institute for Fisheries of the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture (LfL) is organizing this important event. The event starts on Tuesday at 10:15 a.m. and provides a platform for lectures and lively discussions on topics related to fisheries management and aquaculture.
The focus is particularly on maintaining the health of fish stocks and innovative aquaculture practices that not only ensure animal welfare but also help to reduce costs. The positive influence of fish ponds on the cultural landscape is discussed, as are technical advances and educational initiatives at the Institute of Fisheries. Participation in the conference is free of charge and is aimed at anyone interested, which is sure to ensure a lively discussion.
Important topics in aquaculture
In aquaculture there are a variety of factors that are crucial for the quality and health of the fish. According to the leaflet of the DLG Fish are the largest group of vertebrates with over 30,000 species that live in all climate zones and types of water. Your quality of life depends largely on the quality of the water, with oxygen levels and other environmental parameters being crucial. Fish breathe through their gills, and the water body is their only place of refuge due to various chemical and physical influences.
Animal protection is playing an increasingly important role, particularly in aquaculture. The Fish Diseases Department at the Tiho Hanover Dedicates itself in various projects to questions of animal protection measures and animal welfare aspects in the keeping, rearing and slaughter of aquatic creatures. In this context, the document “Welfare of Fishes in Aquaculture” was published to underline the relevance of animal welfare.
The upcoming annual conference in Starnberg not only offers the opportunity for knowledge exchange, but also addresses pressing issues of animal welfare and the responsibility of those involved in aquaculture. Changes in husbandry and the implementation of animal welfare standards could have a sensitive impact on fish farming practices and move them towards a more sustainable future.
