Fish ecology: Acquire in-depth knowledge of habitats and species

If you would like to continue your education in the field of fish ecology, there is now an extremely interesting certificate course available that leads to a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Freshwater Fish in Europe - Ecology and Management. This course is particularly suitable for people who work or would like to work in fish ecology, aquatic ecologists and specialists from the fields of energy production, administration, NGOs and ecological offices.

The aim of this certificate course is to enable participants to make statements about water quality based on the fish fauna in rivers, lakes and small lakes. To this end, two modules provide knowledge about species knowledge and aquatic habitats, as well as the management of species and habitats. In this case, fish ecology therefore deals with the entire habitat of the various fish species in flowing and still waters and provides an insight into the topics of hydrology, river types, development, chemistry and physics, water space and legislation.

In addition, this course demonstrates in a practical way which methods are suitable for carrying out an inventory of rivers and lakes and how the results can be interpreted and analyzed. Another key topic is the renaturation of all three types of water bodies mentioned. The CAS also goes into more detail on stocking and fisheries management as well as diseases. This university course could be an extremely interesting opportunity for anyone wishing to acquire in-depth knowledge about the habitat and differences between freshwater fish in Europe in a short space of time.
