Present jobs:
1.full time: Head of the Department of the Production Processes, Hydrobiological Institute, Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic, Ceske Budejovice
2. part-time (20%) Department of Ecology, Biological Faculty, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice

 

Scientific and professional experience:
From 1982 till 1990 Research work for Hydrobiological Institute of Czech Academy of Sciences on fish ecology in lakes, man made reservoirs, ponds, rivers and streams. Long term research on fish population of the Klicava and Rimov reservoirs aimed on fish stock assessment and food web manipulation for water quality.

 

From 1991 till 1993 postdoctoral fellowship in the university of London: research, training and teaching. Research projects on application of sonar technology (echo survey methods) for fish stock monitoring and assessment on various British waters (freshwater and marine). In the main contract carried out for National Rivers Authority, UK developed new theoretical concepts and implemented them for application of dual beam sonar for quantitative fisheries surveys. Teaching, training courses and instruction workshops in the UK, Sri Lanka, Czech Republic Thailand and USA, teaching, seminars and surveys in Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Czech and Slovak Republic in echo-survey technique, echo signal analysis processing.

 

From 1993 till now continuing research application projects in sonar technology for fish stock monitoring and assessment for Hydrobiological Institute of Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic and for University of London. Other activities include estimation of the effect of hydropower and regulations on the stream ecology, lake and reservoir fisheries, acoustic tracking of bottom sediments and macrophytes, biomanipulation, ichthyoplankton monitoring, monitoring of fish migration (hydroacoustic methods). In 1994 awarded a 'Price of excellency' for young workers of Czech Academy of Sciences for hydroacoustic publications. In 1996 co-organized 'Shallow Waters Fisheries Sonar‘ (SWFS I) Workshop held in Egham (UK) and co-edited the proceedings. In 1999 co-organized SWFS II in Seattle (USA). In 1997 organizing the International Training course on Fisheries Acoustic Techniques for Ecological Research (Slapy reservoir). The member of American Fisheries Society, Czech Limnological and Zoological societies, Institute of Fisheries Management (UK), Russian Hydrobiological Society and Fisheries Acoustic Science and Fishing and Technology group of ICES.

 

The research interests during the past five years included the understanding the role of fish in the ecosystems of reservoirs of different type (stratified reservoirs in the Czech Republic, artificially destratified reservoirs in UK and the Netherlands). A lot of his attention was attracted by the methodical development of unbiased sampling of all possible habitats of deep reservoirs and to further improvement of echosounder studies. Further research interests have included quantitative sonar studies of fish larvae, invertebrates and macrophytes. Many of above results have been summarized in Docent‘s (assistant professor‘s) thesis. Application of scientific echosounders for quantitative studies of water ecosystems� submitted in the University of South Bohemia on February 2001. Dr. Kubečka is author and co-author of over 100 scientific papers (and over 60 reports) which were quoted over 200 times in scientific papers (excluding citations by the colleagues from HBI and autocitations).
