The project builds on a project “Prediction of threats posed by non-native fish and crayfish and optimization of eradication methods for invasive species” (TH02030687) solved in the years 2017 to 2020, which resulted in the “Methodology of regulation and eradication of invasive crayfish species: selection of suitable methods depending on the nature of the particular water body” (RIV/00020711:_/20:00005085), and the web application “Crayfish in the Czech Republic – a decision support application for the conservation of native fish and crayfish species” (RIV/00020711:_/20:00005078). This current project will apply the above mentioned results.
