Hi whats the word for a person that studys freshwater enviroments specificaly?

I need to know this and I know its not zoology, Biology or limnlogy.

thanks

Ichthyology.

thanks, do you know any?

Ichthyology.

That's someone who studies fish.

I'd say "freshwater biologist" or "freshwater ecologist" if you're looking at the whole environment.

just the fish

Icthyologist = studies fish

Ecologist = studies ecology - can pretty much be an ecologist of any biological community. Freshwater ecologist studies freshwater communities including fish but also abiotic and other biotic facets of the system/processes/relationships etc etc.

are there any schools in auckland that specialise in either of those subjects?

thanks

you'd do an ecology BSc and specialise in your final year and masters. I know massey has limnology down here and a few others to do with freash water systems. none that are specifically aimed at fw fish though.

ok, I'm in Intermediate now are there any holiday programs or anything?

thanks

lol my bad. um try doc.

No schools do that. Can only specialise at Uni, I happen to be doing this course.

which course is that?

Ecology. But will specialise in freshwater and marine.

were abouts are you doing that?

Auckland uni

down at UC you do a BAC in science, where you take 3 compulsory biology courses, then provided you pass can go onto 2nd year which at uc does allow direct specializing. id recommend UC, has a top science program and we have a brand new zoology department for post grads...
