COURSE SUMMARY
This course introduces the culture principles of commercially important aquatic organisms from freshwater, brackish water, and marine environments. Case studies with examples from around the world will be discussed, with an emphasis on tropical aquaculture in Asia. The biology of farmed species, choice of culture sites, culture systems, management strategies, disease prevention, culture, nutrition, and aquaculture's economic and environmental impacts are discussed. Field visits to aquaculture facilities will cover the practical aspects of this course.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Identify and understand the objectives, implementation, and local and global aquaculture industry.
2. Analyse the importance of the biology of the farmed organisms in increasing the productivity of the farm.
3. Learn about a typical local aquaculture system
4. Demonstrate scientific presentation skills.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. know the fundamental knowledge of aquaculture operations in Malaysia and worldwide.
2. conduct aquaculture business activities in Malaysia practically.
3. provide basic aquaculture training
