Freshwater Fish Ecology

Freshwater fish ecology studies how fish and their environment interact in rivers, lakes, and streams. It focuses on understanding fish behaviors, diets, and life cycles, as well as how water quality, habitat availability, and other environmental factors influence their survival and community dynamics. These ecosystems are delicate and interconnected, with changes in pollution levels, temperature, or flow patterns affecting fish populations. By understanding these relationships, ecologists can help protect and manage freshwater habitats to support healthy, sustainable fish populations for ecological balance and human use.
