Infrastructure and Library
Anyone visiting the IfB for the first time is impressed by its charming location on Lake Sacrow (spanning around 100-hectares) and the "Jägerhof" ensemble that fits harmoniously into the nature reserve.
The state of Brandenburg has given the Jägerhof to the Institute on a long-term basis within the framework of a contract of use. The prerequisite for this is the exclusive use of the property for fisheries research, with appropriate management.
Modern laboratory capacities and a fish farm with several recirculation systems of different scales enable us to carry out a wide range of research work, especially in the field of fish breeding and husbandry.
For work on the lakes and flowing waters, various fishing gear and watercraft are available in addition to our vehicle fleet. Finally, rooms for seminars and conferences as well as an extensive specialised library round off the institute's equipment.
IfB - Special Library
The IfB library is a specialised library with a focus on fisheries science (especially fisheries biology, fish ecology and fish farming/aquaculture); limnology; hydrobiology and water management. The partly antiquarian private library of Prof. Wilhelm Schäperclaus and partial bequests of Professors H. H. Wundsch and D. Scheer are also part of the library's holdings, which also results in an extensive historical fisheries research representation. As a member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Spezialbibliotheken (ASpB) and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Meereskundlichen Bibliotheken (AMB), the library has access to an extensive number of additional collections.
The IfB-Library is a reference library, which is primarily available to IfB staff, but in principle also open to interested external users.
If you are interested in visiting our library, please make an appointment by email to: bibliothek(at)ifb-potsdam.de.
Please also use the search function for the institute's own publications.
