In 1922 he resumed his duties as Hamburg fisheries director. In 1928 he received a teaching position for fisheries management at the law and political science faculty of the University of Hamburg . In 1930 he was made available as fisheries director in order to be able to devote himself fully to his scientific work at the university as a professor of fish biology and marine research.
