Hydrobiology

Hydrobiology is the study of aquatic environments and the organisms that inhabit them. This field explores freshwater systems like rivers and lakes, as well as marine ecosystems such as oceans and seas. Hydrobiologists examine the relationships between aquatic life, water quality, and ecosystems, focusing on factors like pollution, habitat structure, and biodiversity. Their research is essential for understanding environmental changes, conserving water resources, and ensuring sustainable practices in fisheries and water management. Hydrobiology plays a critical role in addressing global issues like climate change, habitat degradation, and the preservation of aquatic species.
