Aquatic Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The Aquatic Management research group conducts research into various aspects of the management of standing and running water. The focus is on habitat restoration and restoration of longitudinal and lateral connectivity in streams and rivers as required for the conservation and restoration of aquatic fauna and flora. Typical research issues include the construction of environmentally friendly river banks, river restoration and the ...

Fisheries and Aquatic Production Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This research includes fisheries biology, fishing gear and aquaculture. We study the status of commercial fish stocks and give advice for setting the fishing quota. The ecological and economic effects of (new types of) fishing gear and alternative fishing methods are examined. We study fish/shellfish aquaculture systems at sea as well as in recirculation systems on land. Innovations are implemented using an integrated approach.

Aquatische, Wetland- en Estuariene Ecosysteemdiversiteit Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The Aquatic, Wetland and Estuarine Ecosystem Diversity research group evaluates on the basis of monitoring results whether set environmental objectives have actually been achieved and provides an assessment framework for reviewing relevant policies. The group also investigates the impact of (changing) biotic, abiotic, human and spatial factors on biological communities and system characteristics in order to provide the necessary guidelines on ...
