The Management of Aquatic Resources and Aquaculture unit (UGERAA) is part of the Freshwater and Oceanic Science Unit of Research (FOCUS). It was created in 2020 as an association between the laboratory of Fish Demography and Hydroecology (LDPH) and the centre for Training and Research in Aquaculture (CEFRA). The UGERAA works closely with the Behavioural Biology unit (ULg) and the non-profit organisation CERER-Pisciculture. Its research team uses the fish as biological model to conduct fundamental and applied research in:
  • management of aquatic resources: behavioural ecology, population dynamics, hydroecology, conservation and sustainable development of fisheries resources;
  • aquaculture: reproductive biology and control, sex determination, genetic selection and improvement in growth, fish welfare and development of farming systems in line with environmental sustainability. Research is mainly carried out on freshwater fish species in Europe as well as in Africa within the framework of the development cooperation with countries in the southern hemisphere.
