Der Beginn der modernen Aquakultur in Europa lässt sich mit dem Namen Stephan Ludwig Jacobi (1711 – 1784) verbinden, der auf die Idee gekommen war, laichreifen Fischen Eier und Samen zu entnehmen, miteinander zu vermengen und zur Entwicklung zu bringen – die künstliche Vermehrung war geboren. Seine Versuche gerieten jedoch in Vergessenheit und wurden erst ein knappes Jahrhundert später um 1840 an der Mosel, die damals zu Frankreich gehörte, wiederaufgenommen.

The beginning of modern aquaculture in Europe is closely linked to the name Stephan Ludwig Jacobi (1711 - 1784), who came up with the idea of taking eggs and sperm from spawning adult fish, mixing them with each other and then letting them develop – which is how artificial reproduction was born. However, his attempts were pretty-much forgotten and not resumed until almost a century later in 1840 in the Moselle region, which at that time belonged to France. This is where the first state trout farm was then started in Hüningen in today’s Alsace in 1854. This later became the Imperial fish farm, then under German direction. Not only trout but also salmon, vendace and carp were produced on a large scale in order to be sold either to fish farmers or to be released in inland waters, which at that time were already frequently blocked for migratory fish such as salmon and eels. As a result, "artificial trout farming" developed throughout Europe, especially after the introduction of rainbow trout, which originally came from North America. Nevertheless, only a few species were successfully bred and reared up into the 1970s.
