WasserCluster Lunz

A recent high-level award from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for the carp pond farming system in the Waldviertel region is deservedly being celebrated at WasserCluster Lunz as well: the uniquely European recognition of an aquaculture system as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS). Over many years of scientific work, the LIPTOX group led by Martin Kainz has studied trophic interactions in the ponds using biochemical tracers (such as stable isotopes, lipids, etc.), investigated food webs, and provided solid support on the path to becoming a model region through the project TeichFit.
