Microbiome in sediments of fishery ponds
Aquaculture is a fast-growing animal food sector, and freshwater fish farming is particularly common in Central and Eastern Europe. As the biodiversity of fishery ponds is changed towards fulfilling the industrial needs, precautions should be taken to keep the system sustainable and protect the adjacent environment from possible damage. The objective of this project was to evaluate the influence of intensive fish farming on the condition of water bodies used for aquaculture and the environment by evaluating microbiome in the sediments of the fishery ponds as well as sediments upstream and downstream the ponds.
