German Ichthyological Society
Gesellschaft für Ichthyologie e.V. (GfI)
The German Ichthyological Society is an association of fish experts (ichthyologists) and interested parties from all areas of fish science, such as science, fisheries and aquatics.
Its activities focus on the scientific study of fish and the creation of a German-speaking forum for information, communication and publication in the field of ichthyology. This is to be achieved, among other things, by:
- promoting research into the biology of fish under natural and artificial living conditions,
- supporting ichthyological teaching at all levels of education,
- cooperating at national and international level with institutions, groups and interested individuals,
- promoting the consideration of ecological criteria in the use of fish stocks,
- supporting the publication of scientific articles,
- promoting communication between individuals involved in fish-related activities,
- organising specialist conferences,
- publishing a regular journal, and
- promoting measures to preserve biodiversity and protect the natural habitats of fish, particularly supporting projects for species and biotope protection.
A key element of GfI’s activities is the organisation of scientific GfI conferences.
