Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
We plan and conduct a field study in order to demonstrate and investigate effects of environmental factors on the fish assemblage in Rivers. Analysis, Presentation and Interpretation of the data will be conducted in the form of a oral presentation and a written scientific protocol.
Assessment and permitted materials
collaboration, written protocol
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
You learn how to plan and to conduct a field survey based on a empirical approach, you will conduct widely used statistical procedures in order to analyse your data (comparison of sampling sites; assemblage structure), which represents a prerequisite for the interpretation of the results.
Examination topics
Semiquantitative and quantiative sampling methods for fish surveys in rivers (estimation of abundance, biodiversity). Analysis based on pairwise and multivariate parametric as well as non-parametric statistical tests (Excel, R, SPSS, Primer). Tabular and graphical presentation of the results, as well as their interpretation.
