From 1 January 2008 the Danish Institute for Fisheries Research has changed its name to DTU Aqua, National Institute of Aquatic Resources.
The new name is part of a general change of the structure of institute names at The Technical University of Denmark.
Managing Director Fritz Köster explains about the new name:
Our new name “National Institute of Aquatic Resources” shows that we work with the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems and that our research is directed towards all aspects of living sea and freshwater resources, i.e. development of new fisheries technology, assessment of fish stocks, rearing methods and food production.”
“Fisheries, aquaculture and food production will continue as the focus of our research and our public-sector consultancy, but in the future strengthened by enhanced activities within education and innovation.”
The new name will be implemented on our website, emails etc. during the first quarter of 2008.
