Learning outcomes
The course deals with the study of the aquatic environment, the basic abiotic and biotic factors, which are followed by the biology and technology of breeding our main, economically important fish. The aim is to get acquainted with the issues of fish breeding in pond farming, river fishing and trout farming. Furthermore, the issue of aquarium fish breeding, their application on the market and the position of the Czech Republic in relation to neighboring countries is marginally discussed. Finally, marketing, price relations, industry efficiency and the overall benefits of fishing for society are mentioned. Teaching is realized in the form of lectures and consultations supplemented by excursions and field exercises.
The student will be able to develop a recent overview of the latest knowledge in fish farming in areas related to the problems of his/her doctoral studies. He/she will be able to critically evaluate this review using knowledge from other related subjects. He will be able to find previously little-known areas in the biology of individual species and to identify possible weaknesses in particular technological practices. On the basis of this knowledge, he or she can formulate a partial scientific hypothesis and suggest lines of research that can be used to gain new insights and thus expand world knowledge. They can discuss and critically evaluate new findings in fish farming with those of other authors and draw conclusions.
Prerequisites
He has an in-depth knowledge of the state of knowledge in terms of contemporary technologies of freshwater fish farming in temperate zones. Can explain in detail the different phases of farming and apply related knowledge from other subjects (chemistry, hydrobiology, aquaculture, ichthyology and others). Knows current trends in fish farming and the problems of invasive species, diseases and parasites. Knows the nature of fish farming in aquatic environments based on natural ecosystem production. Can sensitively assess the potential environmental impacts of fish farming. Know in detail the reproduction of the main fish species reared and the methods of artificial harvesting of fish. Be able to identify the different developmental stages of the main farmed species and know the relevant feeding technologies. Know current views on the nature of the relationship between the external environment, animal welfare and animal health, performance, product quality and production economics.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance assessment, Interview, Test

The student is able to formulate and present current scientific knowledge in the subject areas of fisheries to the scientific community at the international level in at least one world language, to justify the scientific hypotheses, objectives and methodological approaches of scientific work, as well as their own results that bring new knowledge. The student is motivated to be creative and take initiative in the course. On the basis of the scientific hypothesis, the student will be able to define research objectives and the corresponding methodological approaches in the subject of fisheries.
