Kaiserzander
Traditional fish farming with a promise of quality
- Visionary founders: Inspired by indoor aquaculture, Stefan Glammeier and René John started in 2012 with the goal of producing high‑quality zander regionally and sustainably.
- Climate protection & animal welfare: Thanks to a closed recirculation system (RAS) and in‑house wind and solar power systems, Kaiserzander produces in a climate‑neutral — and in some cases even climate‑positive — way.
- Purity without compromise: Zander are raised in exceptionally clean water, free from microplastics, heavy metals, and parasites — entirely without medication.
- Technology meets responsibility: State‑of‑the‑art monitoring systems and biological water purification ensure maximum efficiency and optimal fish welfare.
Good to know
Zander is prized for its firm, virtually boneless flesh and its mild, nutty flavor—an ideal choice for refined, purist dishes with regional character.
Climate protection and animal welfare
The company’s philosophy is built on uniting resource efficiency, animal welfare, and climate protection. Through a closed recirculation system (RAS), Kaiserzander minimizes environmental risks such as microplastics, heavy metals, or bacteria. Water and energy consumption are drastically reduced through technical monitoring, frequency‑controlled pump systems, and fully in‑house wind and solar energy — resulting in climate‑neutral, and in some areas even climate‑positive, production.
Overall, Kaiserzander represents a modern and responsible approach to fish farming: regional, clean, sustainable, and ready to continue expanding Germany’s largest zander farming operation.
