BIO405HYDROBIOLOGY

BIO405 – Hydrobiology focuses on the study of aquatic ecosystems, including freshwater (limnology) and marine (oceanography) environments. The course covers the physical, chemical, and biological properties of water bodies, the organisms inhabiting them, and ecological processes such as nutrient cycling, productivity, and food web dynamics.

Field studies and laboratory exercises expose students to sampling techniques, water quality analysis, and biological assessments of aquatic habitats. Topics such as pollution, water management, aquatic conservation, and climate change impact on aquatic systems are also addressed. This course is essential for students pursuing careers in environmental science, ecology, and resource management.
