Report from an internship, Italy, Krasilnikova

I completed a three-month internship at the University of Molise, Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences. I am conducted a series of laboratory experiments with Mediterranean brown trout (Salmo cettii) sperm.

The additional key focus of internship was involvement in the after NatSalMo project activities,  related to the conservation of native Mediterranean brown trout (Salmo cettii).  I joined in both laboratory and field activities at Biferno river (Adriatic basin) and Volturno river (Tyrrhenian basin) (Molise region, Italy) that include capture of breeders, collection of semen, fertilization with frozen semen, incubation of fertilized eggs.

The visit provided an immersive learning environment and helped me establish valuable research collaborations. I am grateful for the funding support provided by the Erasmus+, PPSŘ project  and RVO of the FFPW USB for this valuable internship opportunity.
