Platform "IE ECP"Experimental Fish Behavioural Ecology Facility
![INRAE - Platform "IE ECP"](/_resource/Images/Icones_illustrations/ie-ecp_max0x640.jpg)
The IE ECP plateau, which is adjacent to the Hydrobiology centre in St Pée sur Nivelle, offers studies on fish and aquatic resources in their environment.
Field of application
- Management of fish populations and their environment for the preservation of resources and biodiversity
- Evolution of populations
- Assessment of species in aquaculture
- Development of approaches to experimental ecology (in controlled or natural environments), modelling and population genetics.
Themes and skills
- Experimentation on migratory fish, focused on the study of the biology and behaviour of the species.
- Monitoring of migratory populations through traping/counting of individuals, fish stocking and capture in the wild
Equipment and Instruments
- Sclerochronology Laboratory
- Tools for genetic analysis of natural fish populations
- Control station
- Tracking by pit-tagging
- Radio tracking
