Università Roma Tre

Cultural competences (Knowledge of:) The teaching aims to provide students with basic knowledge related to the evolution of the different ecological components, to assess the degree of functional adaptation to the habitat.
Methodological skills (Know how to perform:) acquire and use experimental data related to the study of the natural aquatic living resources
Teaching program:
1) INTRODUCTORY LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY: PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER (TEMPERATURE-DENSITY, TRANSPARENCY, SALT COMPOSITION, SALINITY, CONDUCTIVITY, HARDNESS); WATER BODY THERMAL BALANCE; AQUATIC MOVEMENTS (CURRENTS, TIDE, SEICHE); DISSOLVED OXYGEN AND REGULATING FACTORS; CARBON DIOXIDE, BICARBONATE, CARBONATE, BUFFER SYSTEM, MINERAL ACIDITY AND ALKALINITY; NUTRIENT CYCLES; ORGANIC MATTER, TOTAL SOLIDS, SUSPENDED MATERIAL, SEDIMENTS, BOD AND COD.
2) AQUATIC LIFE: PLANCTON, NECTON E BENTHOS; CLASSIFICATION, METABOLISM AND LIFE CYCLES, COLLECTION METHODS AND TOOLS, ABUNDANCE AND BIOMASS ASSESSMENT; WATER COLUMN AND SEDIMENT ECOLOGY: PRIMARY PRODUCTION, SCRAPERS, SHREDDERS, AND SCAVENGERS: ENERGETIC FLOW IN FOOD PYRAMIDS AND WEBS; EXAMPLES OF SEA, COASTAL, LACUSTRINE, AND RIVER SYSTEMS.
