Career Paths of Our Graduates

Throughout its existence, our laboratory has provided a professional and research environment for numerous students who now hold key positions in Czech and international research and educational institutions, or government bodies. With the consent of our graduates and without indicating academic titles, we may list:

Andreas Andoniu

Senior Fish Expert, LocalFish AG-Switzerland
"My work responsibilities at LocalFish AG include managing two fish farms operating on the principle of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), focused on the production of catfish, perch, and pikeperch for the Swiss market. I am responsible for the comprehensive operation of the farms, including personnel management, technical oversight, and production processes. At the same time, I am actively involved in the construction of new farms, where we use modern technological units and innovative approaches for sustainable fish farming with maximum utilization of by-products."

Martin Vágner

Česká inspekce životního prostředí, Vedoucí oddělení ochrany vod oblastního inspektorátu České Budějovice
"I am responsible for managing the department and the work outputs of five inspectors, as well as planning inspection activities. In addition, we deal with water-related accidents and issues concerning old environmental burdens. When deficiencies are identified, fines or corrective measures are imposed."

Lundová Katsiaryna

Specialista projektů Go to Zero, oddělení Ekologie a pracovní ochrana, Škoda Auto a.s.
"My job responsibilities include working on Go to Zero projects, which are primarily focused on achieving a balance between manufacturing industries and environmentally friendly use of water resources. The goal is to implement measures that reduce environmental impact and minimize the use of natural watercourses."

Jakub Starý

Vodohospodář na AOPK ČR na oddělení Vodních ekosystémů. Zároveň předseda místní organizace ČRS Kladruby u Vlašimi

 "My main responsibilities within the Agency include the management of ponds owned by the Nature Conservation Agency of the Czech Republic (AOPK ČR). On these ponds, I primarily collaborate on setting fish stocks and participate in projects focused on water quality, especially those related to the discharge of wastewater into these ponds.

At the same time, I serve as the chairman of the local organization of the Czech Fishing Union (MO ČRS) in Kladruby u Vlašimi, which primarily brings together anglers with disabilities, who participate each year in the World Float Fishing Championships.”
