AVS 411 - Advanced Aquaculture


Advanced aquaculture will build upon the foundations of the Introduction to Aquaculture course (AVS/SMS 211). Students will be exposed to more advanced concepts including aquaculture engineering and system design; broodstock management; live feeds and algae production; economics and marketing; as well as biosecurity. Application of principles and concepts presented in this class will be emphasized. At the conclusion of this course students should have a firm grasp of critical concepts in aquaculture and be better prepared for careers in private, state, and federal organizations as well as academia.
