The regulation of brown bullhead - \kur{Ameiurus nebulosus} (Lesueur, 1819)
BLÁHA, Jan
The presence of non-native fish species is one of the causes of loss of biodiversity or even degradation of entire ecosystems. The spread of non-native species is often of invasive nature, which is accompanied by a number of direct and indirect effects on the original organisms. These species are often characterized by greater aggressiveness, resistance, growth rate, early sexual maturity period or the presence of anti predatory mechanisms. The expansion of non-native species is mostly and significantly the result of human behaviour. This bachelor thesis is focused on the possibility of regulation of Brown Bullhead or its similar relative Black Bullhead. Brown Bullhead has been present in our country since 1890. The regulation was done by the means of traps. Different kinds of baits were also used in order to maximize the efficiency and selectivity. The data on the actual occurrence of these species in the Czech Republic has been obtained based on the mapping. Historical data need to be confirmed or disproved of and an assessment of its occurrence had to be made as accurately as possible. The thesis also describes other non-native fish species currently present in the waters of the Czech Republic that can affect water ecosystems. The conclusion also contains suggestions of some preventive measures that could be taken to eliminate the possibility of further spread of non-native species of fish in the Czech Republic.
