Life

Rosenthal was born in Berlin and grew up there. From 1957 to 1962 he studied zoology , botany , chemistry , geography and philosophy at the Free University of Berlin . From 1963 to 1968 he studied hydrobiology and fisheries science in Hamburg .

It was founded in 1969 with a thesis on the mass entertainment of herring larvae doctorate and his habilitation in 1981 on closed circuit systems in fish farming and research. From 1989 to 2002 he taught at the Institute for Oceanography at the University of Kiel .

Rosenthal's research had two main focuses:

1. Aquaculture : Here, on the one hand, he conducted application-oriented research, particularly in the field of recirculation systems for fish farming, and, on the other hand, ecologically oriented, particularly with regard to water pollution control and sustainability , especially in developing countries .
2. Ballast water : Rosenthal was one of the first to research the danger of the introduction of marine life from other ecosystems in the ballast water of ships . He advocated regulations and other measures to reduce this problem.

In addition to his own research, Rosenthal is active in international cooperation in hydrobiology and aquaculture, especially between Germany and Canada as well as Germany and Israel .
