Projects related to our activities that make research and conservation of the crucian carp possible:
The first project will test methods for trapping invasive fish species in small waters (pools, forest ponds, flooded quarries and sandpits) with critically endangered fish or amphibian species. The goal is to develop traps that will effectively capture target invasive fish species (gibel carp, the black bullhead, the pumpkinseed, and top mouth gudgeon. The findings will help protect the disappearing critically endangered fish and amphibians in these waters.
"This project is funded with the support of the Czech Technology Agency and the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic within the Environment for Life 2 Programme."
The second project is a transboundary cooperation with Austrian "Interreg" scientists with the project title "Resilient Waters: managing aquatic invasions for sustainable ecosystems". The project responds to the steep decline of biodiversity in the Czech-Austrian border area. Specifically, it addresses the decline of rheophilic and limnophilic fish species that are characteristic of the entire study area. The aim of the project is to promote biodiversity by practically focusing on flagship fish species (here specifically European grayling and crucian carp) and to promote ecological management of the study streams.
This project is supported by the Interreg Fund of the European Union.
