Eligibility Requirements

Aquaculture & Fisheries internships in Greece are suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study such as biology, aquaculture or fisheries. Interns must have a genuine interest in marine conservation and commitment to hands-on work and research activities.

This internship is conducted in English. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to a certain extent.

Internship Details 

Embark on an exciting journey of advanced research in aquaculture, fisheries, and marine ecosystems through this immersive internship. Tailored for students and graduates in marine biology, environmental sciences, aquaculture, and related disciplines, this Aquaculture & Fisheries internship provides valuable experience with pioneering research methods and aquatic system designs.

Aquaculture & Fisheries internships are hosted through an Aquaculture & Fisheries Research Centre, located in Messolonghi, western Greece (approximately 3 hours drive from Athens). The name “Messolonghi” describes the picturesque village located “between the lakes”. While fisheries define the local economy, the region has an abundance of natural beauty and historical attractions to explore. The Aquaculture & Fisheries Research Centre provides interns with a world-class opportunity to collaborate with top-tier researchers and industry experts. Come prepared to enhance your knowledge of aquatic ecosystems and the future of sustainable fishery practices.

Aquaculture & Fisheries interns gain experience across a wide range of fields, from designing innovative aquarium systems to advancing aquatic animal nutrition and exploring the potential of aquaponics. Key research areas can include (but are not limited to):
 
  • Aquarium Design & Water Management: Aquarium construction, water quality management, and filtration efficiency.
  • Aquatic Animal Research: Growth, breeding, farming practices, and health monitoring for ornamental and commercial species.
  • Nutrition & Feed Technology: Fish and prawn feeding practices, feed formulations, and nutritional analysis for efficiency.
  • Aquaponics & Sustainable Systems: Nutrient removal, water quality, and fish waste conversion in aquaponic systems.
  • Abiotic Environmental Monitoring: Water chemistry and nutrients using advanced testing methods.
  • Histology & Microbiota Research: Tissue samples and microbiota correlations with environmental factors.
By diving into the science of aquaculture and fisheries, interns will not only deepen their understanding but become more empowered to lead the way in the field. Equipped with hands-on expertise and a forward-thinking mindset, you’ll come away primed to drive innovation in research, paving the way for a thrilling career that plays a crucial role in safeguarding the health and sustainability of our oceans and aquatic ecosystems.

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.
