On Friday, 24th January 2025, an Open Day was held at all eight faculties of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, and our faculty was no exception.
Our students, under the guidance of teachers and scientists, prepared a day-long programme to introduce interested students to studying at our university. Demonstrations included:
- Laser shooting range within the subject Hunting

- Observation of zooplankton under a microscope
- Comparison of egg size of different fish species
- Measurement of water chemistry
- Native and non-native crayfish species
- Fish farming technology in recirculating systems and more
- Aquaponics model
- Machine learning and automated detection methods that enable fish identification, disease diagnosis, analysis of schooling behaviour or assessment of water toxicity by monitoring the proliferation of live unstained cells.
Practical demonstrations were complemented by the sale of books and promotional materials on fisheries topics.

The Open Day attracted about 65 people interested in studying. We would like to thank all the staff and students who participated in the preparation and also all those interested in studying at the Faculty of Fisheries and Aquatic Protection of JU.
