Reinhold Hanel
Head, Thünen-Institute of Fisheries Ecology in Bremerhaven, Germany
Prof. Reinhold Hanel is head of the Thünen-Institute of Fisheries Ecology in Bremerhaven, Germany, since 2008. He received a Ph.D. in Marine Ecology from Innsbruck University in 2001, was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Physiological Chemistry of the University of Würzburg and Junior Professor for Fisheries Biology at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at Kiel University. He is Associate Professor at Kiel University, 1st Vice President of the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Committee (EIFAAC) of the FAO, German Delegate to the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI), the FAO COFI Subcommittee on Aquaculture and German representative on the EIFAAC/ICES/GFCM Working Group on Eels (WGEEL).
Hanel’s research centers on changes in ecosystem structure and function and their impacts on the management of living aquatic resources. Management concepts change to protection strategies when it comes to preserving sensitive migratory fish species or safeguarding sensitive aquatic genetic diversity. His research includes different applied fisheries and aquaculture-related topics as well basic science studies on the ecological, morphological, behavioral and genetic diversity of fishes and aquatic invertebrates.
