Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the principles of ecologically sustainable fishery management in open waters aimed to promoting diversity of fish communities and improving their living conditions. Students will learn the principles of sustainable production of fish stocks for restocking of open waters including factors affecting stocked fish adaptability, interactions between stocks and resident fish and the risks associated with the stocking of genetically non-indigenous individuals. Furthermore, topics related to the spread of non-native fish species and their effects on ecosystems; fish stocks management supporting a long term maintaining of water quality in new man-made aquatic ecosystems; fish population dynamics and spatial distribution of fish in lakes and reservoirs will be included. Special attention will be enganged to the management of diadromous fish species in open waters.
Graduates of the course will manage the principles of ecologically sustainable fishery management in open waters aimed to promote diversity of fish communities and improve their living conditions.
