I am interested in 0+ fish sampling methodology. Main scope of my interest lies in specifying the optimal method and sampling strategy under particular conditions and in the influence of 0+ fish behaviour on efficiency of sampling techniques. My current research activity involves investigations of general fish biology, especially on fish ecology in floodplain areas and ecology of invasive species.
