Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to inform students about species and population concepts and give detailed information about population biology.
Course Content
Species and population concepts, changes on the biological peculiriaties of the aquatic biota and the abiotic factors which effect on their distribution, research sampling studies, among the biological characteristics sex and age composition, growth, mortalities, feeding and reproduction, daily and seasonal behaviour.
