Fabian Schäfer
For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by the underwater world. Studying Fisheries Science at the University of Hamburg allowed me to turn my hobby into a profession. In 2016, I completed my PhD at Humboldt University Berlin, focusing on the reproduction of pikeperch. Since then, as the coordinator of the Aquaculture Info project at IGB, I've been working on various topics and species in aquaculture. My fascination with aquatic life continues to inspire and motivate me every day.
