Introduces invasive species endemic to contain internal waters. Bio-ecological characteristics of these species, the species with the current state of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) provides the assessment criteria. |
|
| Course Contents |
: |
Identify invasive species in inland waters, and these species are endemic species and biyoekoljik (habitats, nutrition, growth and reproduction) find out the specifics. Endemic and invasive species control the spread of invasive species and stocks, the current situation and to develop methods of struggle, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) criteria for assessment. |
