"Freshwater Ecology" is the study the relation ships between freshwater fish organisms and their natural and cultural environments in freshwater lakes, ponds or rivers.  It's important to study because if the water isn't correctly taken care of or interfered with, it can hurt many creatures and affect our lives too.  Freshwater is basically the bane of our existence  and yet much of it has been destroyed through pollution or drought.  It is very important to study to keep freshwater safer, improve it and keep it apart of our lives.

Differences between a pond and a river. 
  • A river has running water and a pond has standing water.
  • A pond does not disperse water into other bodies of water but a river does.
  • In the middle of the river there are more plants whereas on the outside edges of ponds their are mostly plants.
  • Ponds contain floating plants that hold still whereas rivers have hold fast plants that cling on for dear life.
