My personal research interests are related towards limnology, fish-ecology and aquaculture in tropical inland waters. Main aim of IPGL is to stimulate freshwater ecosystem research in developing countries via joint research projects and international networking. Thus, coordination of research activities is another task within my duties as IPGL coordinator. More information about IPGL is available at: www.ipgl.at
