Learning unit contents
The course addressed the theoretical concepts and practical-technological tools it is important to know to apprehend the study of the ecology of fish in rivers, at the individual and populational level.Inland water rivers are undergoing many anthropogenic pressures that have major impacts on fisheries resources and fishing activities.Solutions are proposed to conciliate the uses and services provided by rivers (hydroelectricity, navigation, irrigation, tourism, etc.) and the protection of fish resources.<br /><br /> This course, organized in the form of theoretical classes, aims to acquire skills in the following topics:
Biology and identification of freshwater macroinvertebrates,
Bioindication methods
Aquatic Ecotoxicology : Pollutants and their impact on Physiology of the aquatic organisms and Biological quality of the ecosystem
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Learning basic knowledges of the ecology of inland water fish in order to apprehend the thoughtful management of their populations in a context of numerous and varied anthropic pressures.<br /><br /> Understand the general biology of macroinvertebrates.
Become familiar with the different bioindication methods and their limitations.
Know the biology of insects used in fish feeding.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to
- Know the biology and identify the main species of macroinvertebrates
- Know bioindication techniques
- Identify the risks related to the use of specific products for freshwater habitats
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic knowledge of animal biology. Mastery of the French language.
