Scientific work

performing research in the priority areas of fisheries and hydrobiological science and training

graduate and doctoral students.

Such areas today are:

• development of theoretical bases of biomonitoring for fishery water bodies;

• assess the bioproductive potential and water quality of fishery water bodies;

• development and implementation of methods increasing the bio- and fish productivity of various

types of water bodies;

• study of the physiological state and productive potential of populations of different fish species in

normal conditions and under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors;

• development of measures aimed to restore native fish fauna, and rare and endangered fish

species.

Among the achievements of the department:

• biotechnology of non-natural reproduction of the black carp;

• methods of using anti-stress and immobilizing drugs in commercial fish farming and in the

experimental research that prevents fish injury during biomanipulation;

• ecological basis of fishery use of the lakes in the Shatsk Natural National Park;

• study of the impact of highly mineralized wastewater, heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites and other

anthropogenic stressors in water on the state of ichthyofauna and natural food base of water bodies
