The infrastructure at the Research Department for Limnology, Mondsee, offers comprehensive basic equipment for limnological and evolutionary-biological issues. Two cars, two research vessels and one motor barge are available for field research. The setting for field sampling contains water samplers, plankton nets with various mesh sizes, two multi probes, sediment traps, multi mesh gill nets and one beach seine, two purse seines, one scientific echo sounder etc. The research building provides five walk-in climate chambers and two fish holding facilities (aquarium rooms) for the breeding and cultivation of sensitive species (e.g. Coregonid fishes) with different requirements. The lab facilities are also equipped with modern lab infrastructure for staff, guests researchers and students.
