Adrian Gerny
Adrian Gerny is a 37-year-old professional fisherman based in Zurich, Switzerland, who is deeply committed to his craft despite the challenges posed by invasive species like the Quagga mussel threatening the local ecosystem. As the president of the Regional Association of Professional Fishermen of Zurich and Walensee, Gerny embodies the dedication required in a profession that demands long hours and offers little in terms of work-life balance. He operates his own fishery, catching, processing, and marketing fish from Lake Zurich, where he faces not only environmental challenges but also a declining interest in the fishing profession among younger generations. Gerny remains passionate about his work, stating, 'I live for my profession,' as he navigates the complexities of fishing in an increasingly competitive and changing environment.
