Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
To understand some ecological theories, i.e., taxonomy, phylogeny, survival and reproductive strategies, intra- and interspecific competition, establishment of ecological niche and the effects of various environmental factors on a variety of organisms including phyto- and zooplankton, water plants and benthic animals with an important roles in aquatic ecosystems, for the purpose of the increase in their resources. |
