Ecology of water vertebrates/ Ecology of fish
University of South Bohemia
Description:
Zabývá se zejména studiem ekologie ryb údolních nádrží a jezer. Tuto disciplínu dovedl na kvalitativně novou úroveň, kdy se svými spolupracovníky zavedl řadu nových metod často odvozených z mořského prostředí. Založil mezinárodní výzkumnou školu a pracoviště pro průzkumy ryb velkých vnitrozemských vod (Fish Ecology Unit Hydrobiologického ústavu BC AV ČR https:/www.fishecu.cz/). Metody rozvinuté touto skupinou se používají po celém světě. Pracoviště udržuje referenčních databázi informací o rybách českých i zahraničních nádrží a jezer pro vědecké i aplikované účely.
In connection with other limnological and hydrobiological lectures this course is dealing with the role of aquatic vertebrates, particularly fish, in the water system. It contains especially traditional fish ekology and ichthyology disciplines,: adaptation to the aquatic environment, reproduction, food, behavior, population dynamics, etc. Other aquatic vertebrates will be given space according to their importance in aquatic ecosystems.
