Hydrobiology

Regular hydrobiological studies in Armenia began in 1923 with the establishment of the Sevan Hydrobiological Station. 

Currently, studies of species diversity, development patterns and nutritional relationships of microorganisms, aquatic protozoa, benthic invertebrates, including crawfish, and macrophytes of Lake Sevan and other reservoirs of the Republic of Armenia are being carried out in the laboratory of aquatic biology. The discovery of the ways of conservation and efficient use of the natural resources of Lake Sevan and the assessment of the impact of the catchment basin on the lake are especially important. 

Head of the lab: Dr. Susanna Hakobyan
