My research interests cover a broad spectrum of the ecology of freshwater fish in temperate lakes:
Behavioural ecology:
Predator-prey relationships of larval and juvenile fish and their zooplankton prey populations; Habitat use of juveniles under predation threat.
Functional ecology:
Population dynamics with emphasis on larval and juvenile life stages as well as on endangered fish species.
Spatial patterns of fish distributions and habitat relationships of different life stages within lakes in relation to environmental factors.
Fish communities and their indicator value for the ecological integrity of lakes.
Evolutionary ecology:
Population genetics of lake dwelling fish in relation to niche differentiation.
To achieve our tasks we are combining laboratory studies (behavioural, physiological and genetic analyses) with field observations on distribution, habitat use, population dynamics, trophic relationships, growth and reproduction. We use various methods like behavioural analysis, respirometry, DNA analysis, hydroacoustics and diverse netting methods to collect data on the mentioned aspects of fish ecology.
Many projects involve close cooperation with colleagues from Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Poland and Russia. All works are supported by our technical assistant.

EcoAlpsWater - Innovative Ecological Assessment and Water Management Strategy for the Protection of Ecosystem Services in Alpine Lakes and Rivers. Interreg Alpine Space - Europäischer Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE) - European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (2018 - 2022) (together with R. Kurmayer, PI)
The aim of the project Eco-AlpsWater is to improve the traditional monitoring approaches used in the Alpine region (Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC-EU WFD and, in Switzerland, the Water Protection Ordinance-WPO) with advanced and innovative DNA sequencing techniques such as metabarcoding. The new approach will make use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze environmental DNA in waterbodies (which allow rapid species identification at low costs, from fish to bacteria), and smart technologies (automation in data processing, data storage, information retrieval). Along with the identification of gaps in the monitoring approaches across the Alpine regions, the new technologies will allow to define improved experimental monitoring protocols to be applied in pilot areas partly linked to other ongoing alpine space projects (SPARE, Hymocares) and including large perialpine lakes as well as smaller waterbodies, and rivers.

Risk Analysis of Direct and Indirect Climate effects on deep Austrian Lake Ecosystems (RADICAL), Project leader
Dieses Projekt wird aus Mitteln des Klima- und Energiefonds gefördert und im Rahmen des Programms „ACRP“ durchgeführt.
In cooperation with: Rainer Kurmayer, Institute for Limnology and Britta Grillitsch, Aquatic Ecotoxicology Section, Department for Biomedical Sciences, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna.
Population models will be generated for whitefish (Coregonus sp.) and cyanobacteria (Planktothrix rubescens) as key biota in Austrian Pre-Alpine lakes and calibrated with contemporary field data. Ecotoxicological experiments will be performed to assess the effects of cyanotoxins on demographic parameters of whitefish focusing on reproductive aspects. These models will be integrated using RAMAS (Risk Assessment and Management Alternatives Software) to assess risks of cyanobacterial blooms under future climate scenarios associated with increased production of toxins, effects on various components of the plankton community and especially on future whitefish population development considering ecotoxicological risks.
Conservation of natural biological resources in Austria: Identification of indigenous whitefish species and extent of potential hybridization with a Baltic species funded by the Austrian Science Fund (L229-B12) - in cooperation with Steven Weiss (University of Graz). Two PhD students are involved: Barbara Pamminger-Lahnsteiner (Mondsee) and Katrin Winkler (Graz).
The project will assess the extent and effects of introgression of an introduced whitefish species (Coregonus maraena, Bloch (1779), originating from the Baltic region) into two native whitefish species - Coregonus renke and Coregonus atterensis, Kottelat (1997). We will determine if pure native populations of whitefish still exist in the two Austrian lakes Mondsee and Hallstättersee. The analysis will be based on the study of mitochondrial DNA, as well as on methods using the microsatellite and the AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) techniques. The interrelationship between genetic, morphological and ecological characteristics will be studied with special emphasis on the role of two contrasting mechanisms of spawning segregation (in time and space) for counteracting possible hybridization. The study will be complementedusing experimental methods (crosses) to assess hybridcompatibility, additive genetic variance of selected traits, and to establish an F 2 generation for future mapping efforts of traits of interest (e.g. in aquaculture).
The role of predation in population dynamics of 0+ whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) funded by a doc-stipendium of the Austrian Academy of Sciences awarded to Martin Finster. The project aimed to quantify mortality of whitefish during the first growing season in Hallstättersee and to assess the role of predatory fish as a mortality factor. Hydroacoustics in combination with various netting methods like push-netting, purse seining and trawling were used. Implications for population modeling and fisheries management have been expected.
Integrating hydroacoustics into studies on fish populations - Cooperation project with H. Gassner (Federal Water Agency, Scharfling, Austria), T. Mehner (Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin, Germany), I.J. Winfield (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Windermere, Great Britain), M. Godlewska (International Centre for Ecology, Warsaw, Poland), P. Frankiewicz (University of Lodz, Poland).
The aim of the project is (1) to develop quality assurance protocols of hydroacoustic methods by intercalibration of results from hardware and software obtained by different manufacturers and (2) to study the applicability of hydroacoustics for analysis of distribution patterns of fish in lakes, especially of larval and juvenile stages.
Trade-off between foraging and defence in young fish and plankton crustaceans: behavioural and ecological aspects – Cooperation project with V. Mikheev and A. Pasternak (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia).
We analysed to which extent threatened fish demonstrate various behavioural responses including individual (activity changes, use of refuges, variations in prey handling time) and cooperative (various schooling maneuvres) ones. We also investigated if threatened copepods respond more uniformly, either lowering their foraging (motor) activity, or undertaking diel vertical and horizontal migrations.
