Report from the business trip to Heraklion (Greece), Adámek

On 8 – 11 May 2023, I was invited by the vice-rector of the University of Crete in Heraklion, prof. Michalis Pavlidis (head of the Dept. of Biology) to give lectures on carp farming ("Principles of common carp rearing and pond aquaculture") as a part of the "Aquaculture, Environment and Society" course. My presentations consisted of four lectures, ending with an exam during this week (examiner Prof. Pavlidis). Department of Biology, which organises the course, mainly focuses on the physiology and welfare of fish and marine hydrobiology, which is why I was asked for a specific section dealing with carp farming. All costs associated with the trip were fully covered by the University of Crete.
