The use of echosounders can be perceived as an extremely powerful tool for exploring aquatic ecosystems. Their undeniable advantage is their friendliness to the observed organisms, which are not distracted or damaged. For example, in marine systems, the use of echolsouders is a fundamental approach to studying fish communities and other pelagic organisms. When studying the fish communities of...
Meeting the mating partners at the right spot and time is crucial for the reproduction. Energy costs of spawning migration and stay at the spawning grounds are often important to consider. On the other hand, earlier male arrival compared to when females arrive may increase mating opportunities in competitive reproductive systems.
International Workshop of The Group for Primary Aquatic Productivity is held from 19th to 30th August in Třeboň.
Libor Grubhoffer will be a new Director of the largest scientific institution in South Bohemia - Biology Centre (BC) CAS.

Libor Grubhoffer replaces Miloslav Šimek, who has been in charge of the institution since 2012.
Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology BC CAS plan to build floating islands made of plastic bottles. These islands will be used to manufacture experimental floating wetlands that will reduce nutrient load and increase biodiversity in reservoirs.
Doc. Ing. Petr Porcal, Ph.D., who is employed at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Biology Centre CAS was appointed as associate professor of "Hydrobiology" at the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia with effective date June 1, 2016. He defended his habilitation thesis entitled "Photochemical transformation of aquatic dissolved organic matter". Diplomas...
Perch (Perca fluviatilis, L.) plays an important role in the fish community of reservoirs and lakes in the temperate zone. If perch wants to be a key species, it must be numerous. That is why, it needs to have very high abundances of juveniles and the juveniles must survive the most critical part of their lives. The most important conditions of survival are i) avoidance of predator that can...
