| The aim of the course is to educate students in processes associated with production of aquatic organisms. The course will educate the students to be able to evaluate and suggest solutions to various aquaculture problems. Thus, both technical and biological questions should be solved by the students. Knowledge Summarise the production types of different aquaculture enterprises. Describe both low and high technology aquaculture systems. Refer to investigations of fish and fish production systems for normal and abnormal conditions. Show overview of relevant feed items for specific aquaculture systems. Identify breeding strategies in fish farming. Classify the environmental and economical impacts of various fish production systems. Show overview of biotic and abiotic parameters influencing the outcome of aquculture business.Display overview of sampling processes and techniques in order to obtain samples for further processing of fish pathologists. Produce working plans for consultants in aquatic sciences. Classify and evaluate fish welfare problems in aquaculture Skills Work in a laboratory with selected experimental fields within aquaculture subjects. Analyse quality parameters of fish farming and apply these in new areas. Analyse and judge environmental, technical and economical aspects of fish cultures. Put forward theories on improved technologies within the aquaculture area. Communicate broad and narrow fields of aquaculture production to fellow students. Make oral presentations. Write detailed reports on analyses of complex production problems. Competences Make judgments on the relevance of any farm system to a certain environment. Construct theories and/or working plans for solving complex problems in specific aquaculture systems.Make ethical considerations and respond to animal welfare and environmental legislation relevant to aquaculture. Cooperate with fellow students about the carrying out and reporting experimental aquacultural experiments. | |||||||||||||||||||
