Michal Tušer

I am a hydrobiologist interested in (1) fish ecology in various environments and (2) greenhouse-gases fluxes in freshwaters, primarily using advanced underwater acoustic technology. Besides scientific echosounders and advanced acoustic cameras, I have a great deal of experiences with fisheries active and passive netting, electrofishing, and field sampling of diffusive and ebullitive fluxes of carbonic gases. I have participated on a great deal of projects focused on quantitative and qualitative investigations of fish communities and methane surveys in large inland waters throughout Europe.
