 |
| The
Netherlands Institute for Fisheries
Research undertakes fundamental
and applied research on the entire
fish production: from fish to dish.
The field of work extends from the
sea, the inshore and inland waters,
auctions, fish farms and processing
industry to the retail outlets and
consumers.As an independent unit
of the DLO Foundation, RIVO is part
of Wageningen University and Research
Centre (Wageningen UR). |
 |
| A
staff of more than 100 individuals
is involved in fisheries research
at RIVO locations in IJmuiden and
Yerseke. RIVO can call on the knowledge
and expertise of all other disciplinary
unites at Wageningen UR.RIVO is
a member of the West European Fish
Technology Association (WEFTA) and
maintains close links with numerous
institutes. |

The
project group Aquaculture hasbeen
involved in research on intensive
fish farming in recirculation systems
for more than 15 years and is the
leading institute in this field
in The Netherlands. Within RIVO
the project group Aquaculture has
extensive expertise in fish culture
and fish culture related research,
e.g recirculating systems, testing
of diets, research on attractants
in diets, farmed fish as functional
foods and economic modelling of
aquaculture operations. Research
on percid fish first started in
1994 with experiments on rearing
of pike perch larvae on artificial
diets. Nowadays research on percid
fish focuses on the culture of pikeperch
in recirculation systems and out
of season reproduction of Eurasian
perch. RIVO is the coordinator of
the FP5-QoL-Lucioperca project. |
