- 19.-23. Juni 2023: Training school about freshwater mussel breeding, Teil 1 in Luxemburg
Due to their frequently strong imperilment, more and more freshwater mussels become target species of conservation programs. These conservation programs often include breeding projects as a short term conservation method in order to prevent total extinction of target populations, preserve genetic diversity of species or restock extinct populations. Implementation of breeding programs is complex and requires profound background knowledge and a „toolbox“ including various methods and skills from selection of target populations, breeding work steps like collection of larvae or rearing of host fish and juveniles up to releasing and monitoring juveniles and populations. The training school about freshwater mussel breeding is directed towards all newcomers to mussel breeding and mussel conservation providing a thorough introduction on the topic with a strong focus on enabling practical experiences of all working steps. The program is split in two courses taking place in June and September 2023 at the Kalborn mill in Luxemburg and the city of Passau in Germany. Detailed information is provided below.
