theoretical aspects on morphology and anatomy, biology and ecology, taxonomy, phylogeny and economic value of the group. Species distribution includes continental waterbodies, semiterrestric habitats and marine coastal waters of Europe. The laboratory work includes observation of living animals, narcotizing, preparation technics, mastax analyse and identification of Monogononta and Bdelloidea.
