Name
Fish community structure in the brackish and freshwater area of estuaries which are disturbed by anthropogenic effects
Name @nl
Diversiteit en gemeenschapsstruktuur van vissen in de brakwater- en zoetwaterzone van estuaria onder anthropogene stress
Description @en
The aim of the proposal is to study the relationship between abiotic and biotic factors and the diversity and community structure of fish in rivers in Belgium (Zeeschelde) and Bolivia (Amazon basin). The effect of these factors on spatial and temporal patterns in occurrence of riverine fish will be studied, and the impact of anthropogenic stressors will be investigated.
Description @nl
Het onderzoeksvoorstel beoogt een grondige studie van de abiotische en biotische faktoren die de diversiteit en struktuur van visgemeenschappen en -populaties in rivieren bepalen. Naast een studie van de omgevingsfaktoren (habitatstruktuur, waterkwaliteit, prooiaanbod) die temporele en spatiƫle struktuursvariaties verklaren wordt de impakt van verschillende types anthropogene stressoren onderzocht.
