Determining the maximum ecological potential of retention basins
Methodology for assessing the ecological potential of reservoirs based on phytoplankton and benthic invertebrates; determination of maximum ecological potential Water bodies whose characteristics have been significantly altered by physical changes caused by human activity are referred to as heavily modified and artificial water bodies. The ecological potential of heavily modified and artificial water bodies is […]
Factors contributing to bacterial and viral infections in clams
As part of the targeted research project, samples of blue mussels – both those farmed in mussel beds and those growing wild along the Slovenian coast – were subjected to chemical and microbiological analysis over a one-year period. IZVRS identified sources of pollution and monitored the chemical parameters of seawater. About the project Client Public […]
