DEPARTMENT OF AQUATIC ECOLOGY Functions and tasks: To conduct
studies on typical aquatic ecosystems within Vietnam including the species
composition, community structure, quantitative distribution, nutrient relations,
assessment and prediction of ecological succession of inland waterbodies under
the influences of natural and anthropogenic factors. To study the
hydrobiological fauna of fresh, brackish and sea waters (taxonomy, geographical
distribution, biological characteristics, and biodiversity conservation). To investigate
the experimental ecotoxicology which forms the scientific bases of using
bio-indices for the rapid assessment and biological monitoring of water quality. Activities: The National
Programs for the study of coastal ecosystems and biological resources for
planning and the rational use of natural resources in the coastal zone of the
northern Vietnam (1976-1980; 1981-1985; 1986-1990 and 1991-1996. The National
Programs and Projects for fundamental research on hydrobiological fauna and
wetland ecosystems in the Mekong delta (1982-1985 and 2003-2004). The project
for investigation of the aquatic ecosystems and environment in the Red River
delta (1997-1999). The National project
on the basic research in Life sciences (1996-2005). The National
project for study and establishment of model for integrated management of
natural resources and environment in the catchment area of Da River
(2001-2003). The National
project for study and establishment of complex measures for rational use of
sandy land in coastal zone of central area from Quang Binh to Binh Thuan
Provinces (2003-2005). The National
project for establishment of the Vietnamese Oceanic Database (1996 to present). The Ministry
project for study and application of some biological indices for assessment of
environmental quality in Vietnam (2000-2002). The Planning
of Inland Aquatic protected areas of Vietnam (2005-2006). The National
Project on the Fauna and Flora of Vietnam (1999 to present). The Planning
of Inland Aquatic protected areas of Vietnam (2005 - 2006). Participation

projects of infrastructure construction of Vietnam (hydropower stations, roads
etc).. Cooperation: The department
carried out many programmes in collaboration with some organizations such as:
WB, ADB, IUCN, WWF, and FFI in the fields of biodiversity conservation. Head
