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.

AVS 411 and AVS 511 cannot both be taken for credit.
