Course content
The academic discipline "Hydrobiology" is a component of the professional training program of specialists of the first (bachelor's) level of higher education in the specialty "Biology". It covers the specifics of habitat of representatives of different taxonomic and ecological groups of living organisms in the aquatic environment, their ability to adapt to changing environmental factors and the formation of associations and groups above the organism level, patterns of aquatic ecosystems in different types of water and the role of aquatic organisms in the formation of bioproductivity and water quality. The discipline is designed to generalize the specifics of habitat and adaptation of living organisms to aquatic habitats and to form an understanding of the complex interactions between aquatic organisms and their groups within the ecosystems of different bodies of water.
