Department Fish Ecology and Evolution
Restoration Ecology
Main goals are
- studying ecological basics in order to formulate ecosystem-based goals and approaches for the process of river repair
- having a distinct research focus on native fish populations and their habitats in order to recognize the main stressors
- developing catchment-based scientific frameworks to achieve natural structure and functions in rivers
- studying and developing mitigation measures concerning the negative impact on fishes from the use of hydropower
- cooperation with practitioners and river managers in the field of river restoration and hydropower use
Our group
- studies contemporary river conditions in relation to determine main deficits and future river restoration (main focus fish habitat and fishes)
- carries out studies to identify main ecosystems stressors (hydrological, morphological and biological)
