  • General

    Objectives: Aquatic animal infectious diseases are steadily increasing resulting in major loses to the aquaculture industry. Since aquaculture is expanding industry to new geographic areas, new microbial and parasitic species with pathogenic potential will continue to emerge. To understand the principles of aquaculture health management, biosecurity and specific issues associated with the system will be discussed in this course. This knowledge will be gained through lectures, group discussion, case studies, written assignment submissions, and student presentations.

    Outcome: Students will be trained on the best practices for health management in aquaculture. Students will be provided with the updated knowledge on management issues in aquaculture including feed, BMP, SPF etc.
