Scientific work

The scientific activity of the Department of Hydrobiology and Ichthyology is focused on conducting scientific research in priority areas of fisheries and hydrobiological science and on training postgraduate and doctoral students.

Such areas today are:

·       development of theoretical foundations of biomonitoring of fisheries reservoirs;

·       assessment of bioproduction potential and water quality of fisheries reservoirs;

·       development and implementation of methods for increasing bio- and fish productivity of reservoirs of various types;

·       research of the physiological state and productive properties of populations of various fish species in the norm and under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors;

·       development of measures aimed at restoring aboriginal ichthyofauna, rare and endangered fish species.

Among the achievements of the department:

·       biotechnology of artificial reproduction of black grass carp;

·       methods of using anti-stress and immobilizing drugs in industrial fish farming and when conducting experimental studies with fish, which prevents their trauma during biomanipulations;

·       ecological justification of the fishery use of lakes of the Shatsk Natural National Park;
