|
Ecological investigation of stagnant (lakes, ponds) and running waters (rivers, brooks), reservoirs, ground water and aquatic biotopes. Biological examinations (taxonomy, occurrence, distribution, auto-ecology) of aquatic organisms with emphasis on zooplankton, meio- and macro-zoobenthos, phytoplankton and phytobenthos. |
