Life around the water and in the water, five environmental programs for kindergarten
KREJČOVÁ, Hana
Krejčová Hana 2014: Life around the water and in the water, five environmental programs for kindergarten. Bachelor thesis. Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, 63 pp. My bachelor thesis contains practical elaboration of five environmental programs for kindergartens. Main theme is life of animal around the water and in the water. I have chosen these themes: "Snails", "Insects", "Fishes", "Frogs", "Lizards and Snakes." Bachelor thesis contains beside practical part also theoretical part focused on pedagogy and natural science. Theoretical part is way-out for practical elaboration of all activities included in the submitted programs. My bachelor thesis also contains a discussion about suitability of form and content of the suggested environmental programs according to experiences of kindergarten teachers. Respondents have been asked by on-line questionnaire.

Market of selected organic commodities (organic meat)
LEŠTINOVÁ, Iva
This thesis deals with the organic livestock production in South Bohemian region. The aim of the thesis was to analyze the South Bohemian organic meat production, production of eggs and honey and distribution of the biocommodities. Through the processing of data from the database IAEI and questionnaire survey, conducted at the level of organic farmers farming in the South Bohemian region with a valid certificate for meat production, development and the current market situation of organic meat production were assessed in the South Bohemian region.

The formation of biogenic amines in flesh of selected fish species
MATĚJKOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis deals with the use and effectiveness of some less common methods of conservation of fish meat. The formation of biogenic amines in meat is observed in connection with the non-traditional preservative methods. Amines can serve as indicators of protein degradation. The quality of fish was considered in connection with the increasing content of selected biogenic amines (putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, spermine, 2-fenylathylamine, histamine, tyramine and tryptamine). Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) was used as the method for determination of biogenic amines. Amines were derivatized by dansylchloride before their UPLC separation. The fish flesh was vacuum-packed. Samples were stored for several weeks in a thermostat at the selected storage temperature after the application of selected preservative technique. Beta-irradiation and high hydrostatic pressure were used for the preservation of fish flesh. Control samples were not exposed to the â-irradiation and high pressure. The organoleptic properties were studied for all samples (smell/odor, insight and shape). Beta-irradiation was applied to fish meat of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Both these species of freshwater fish are economically significant. Carp and trout are the species being mostly consumed in the Czech Republic. Fish meat is considered to be provided the flesh is fresh. A testing series of samples was created with common carp to determine the appropriate dose of â-irradiation. The maximum permissible dose of irradiation for fish meat is 3 kGy. Fish samples were exposed this dose in the first experiment. The dose of irradiation was reduced in following experiments based on the experience from the initial experiment. The doses of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and 2.0 kGy were applied to rainbow trout. The value of 0.75 kGy of â-irradiation or higher (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kGy) prolonged the shelf life of fish meat, which was stored for three months (98 days). Prolonging of the shelf life of fish meat to approximately 98 days at 3.5 °C is redundant from technical point of view. For that reason lower doses 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 kGy were tested in more detail in the repeated experiment with carp meat. Lower doses of â-irradiation are considered to be more acceptable and-at the same time-sufficiently effective for delaying the beginning of degradation processes. 6 High hydrostatic pressure was applied to meat of common carp (Cyprinus carpio), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and pike (Exos lucius). Pike is another very popular kind of freshwater fish. Pike flesh is very tasty, but in spite of this, pike is not so much popular among consumers compared to carp and trout. The cause is its high price. Samples of pike were stored at standard temperature 3.5 °C and also at higher temperature 12 °C (unlike experiments with â-irradiation). Lower temperature of storage (3.5 °C) followed the conditions of storing of fish meat in industrial refrigeration facilities and households. The high pressure might not be sufficient for preservation at higher storage temperatures. This assumption was based on available information. Samples were treated by high pressure and stored at both 3.5 °C and 12 °C to verify this assumption. Higher temperature simulated either failure of refrigeration equipment or unsuitable store temperature of meat. In all species selected freshwater fish two levels of high pressure were applied ? 300 and 500 MPa. Both levels had significantly reduced the formation of biogenic amines, especially in samples stored at 3.5 °C. At this temperature, the effect of 300 and 500 MPa delayed start of degradation processes in fish meat by 3?4 weeks. At 12 °C and 500 MPa, high pressure extended the sustainability of meat by no more than one week. 500 MPa is effective treatment at the lower temperature of 3.5 °C. High pressure is not reliable preservative techniques at higher temperature.

The effects of prometryne on early life stages of common carp
LIDOVÁ, Jaroslava
The effects of prometryne on early life stages of common carp Prometryne belongs to the triazine group of herbicides, which are used in agriculture. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prometryne on mortality, occurrence of deformation, growth and development of early life stages of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). For assessing the impact of ryne on the early developmental stages of carp was used the method of embryo-larval toxicity test for fish (OECD test n. 210). Toxic effect of prometryne at four concentrations (0.51 micrograms.l-1, 80 micrograms.l-1, 1.2 mg.l-1 and 4 mg.l-1) was investigated during 35 days. Negative effects on mortality and growth were observed in the experimental group number four with the highest concentration of prometryne (4 mg.l-1). Retardation of ontogeny development of carp was observed in the experimental groups number three and four (concentrations 1.2 mg.l-1 and 4 mg.l-1). On the basic of test results was estimated at 35 day LC50 = 2,314 mg.l-1 prometryne. Based on mortality in experimental group was estimated LOEC = 1,10 mg.l-1 and NOEC = 0,85 mg.l-1 prometryne.

Assessment of fish contamination in important fishing grounds
ČERVENÝ, Daniel
The object of this thesis is the assessment of fish contamination by selected foreign substances as toxic metals, polychlorinated biphenyls and pesticides in 31 selected fishing grounds. The monitoring was realized between years 2006 and 2010. Fish were caught by electric device and fishing rods. Concentrations of Hg, Cd, Pb, PCB, DDT, HCH and HCB in fish muscle tissues were monitored. Common bream (Abramis brama) was selected as a reference species for a comparison of the monitored sites. The results of analysis were compared with valid hygienic limits. Overrun of hygienic limit for some of the monitored pollutants were observed in 18 localities. We found mercury as a major pollutant in the aquatic environment.

Fishfarming and fish in South Bohemian ponds (The unit plan)
BARTOŠKOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the diploma thesis was to create the the unit plan, which is mainly intended for students in 7th grades of Czech primary schools. Prior to creating the unit plan, the presentation of the topic was analysed in coursebooks normally used at primary schools. The unit plan also contains worksheets and excursion suggestions. The electronic version of the thesis is supplemented with an original footage of fishing out of a pond. Some parts of the unit plan were tested in practice. The thesis was written as a part of GAJU 065/2010/S project.
