The aquatic ecology laboratory is intended for activities that involve the use of equipment for the identification and determination of biological indicators and the use of sampling methods (dredging/threading/rinsing) to facilitate in-situ analyses. The aquatic ecology laboratory has equipment which may be used for:
- sampling, sorting and sorting of samples;
- the in-situ identification and quantification of the biological quality indicators in the water mass and in the sediment: macroinvertebrates, zoobenthos, ichthyofauna, algae;
- establishing the quality of surface waters from a biological point of view, in accordance with the Water Framework Directive;
- in-situ monitoring of various accidental biological pollutions;
- establishing the human influence and pollution factors at the source on the entire course of the Danube;
- the study of the status of various natural and anthropogenic ecosystems from the point of view of the presence of various classes of algae as well as the kinetics of algae over cyclic time periods.
