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. |
| Class Schedule |
lesson1 Taxonomy of aquatic organisms
lesson2 Life cycle of aquatic organisms
lesson3 Environmental adaptation of aquatic organisms
lesson4 Population ecology of aquatic organisms
lesson5 Community ecology of aquatic organisms
lesson6 Food web of aquatic organisms
lesson7 Geographical distribution of of aquatic organisms
lesson8 Exotic alien species of aquatic organisms
lesson9 Domestic alien species of aquatic organisms
lesson10 Sexual differences of aquatic organisms
lesson11 Asymmetry of aquatic organisms
lesson12 Reproductive ecology of aquatic organisms 1
lesson13 Reproductive ecology of aquatic organisms 2
lesson14 Parasitology of aquatic organisms 1
lesson15 Parasitology of aquatic organisms 2
To understand various ecological phenomena, extract some thories for these explanations and apply the thories to maintenance and increase of valuable bioresources by reading, presentation, answer to question and discussion of some English papers concerning taxonomy, phylogeny, life cycle, population dynamics, interspecific relationship, community structure, environmental adaptation and roles in ecosystems of various aquatic organisms. |
