Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject will develop detailed knowledge of reproduction and genetics in relation to egg production techniques, stock improvement and selection programs for use in aquaculture farms. You will develop knowledge and skills in finfish egg production, larval and juvenile fish rearing, stock improvement using genetic engineering and selection. A practical approach to genetics will include selection methods for use on farms. Physiological and biological aspects of aquatic animals will be investigated along with fish rearing techniques and risks associated with fish breeding and management. A focus on nutrition will provide you with knowledge and skills relevant to the management of aquaculture animals for economically optimal growth in intensive aquaculture systems. Practical aspects of the subject will focus on the formulation of diets suitable in form and nutritional composition for aquatic animals.
