Subject outline
This subject will develop your theoretical and practical knowledge relevant to the construction and management of aquaculture facilities. You will develop an understanding of physical laws describing the behaviour of gases, liquids, forces, motion and energy, in relation to water flow. A capacity for critical analysis will be developed through an evaluation of the relationships between environmental properties, physical laws, functional design and operating characteristics of aquaculture plant and equipment. Skills required in all forms of practical aquaculture - including simple pipe construction, pumps and filtrations - will be learned through practical application at the NMIT aquaculture facility. The subject will also to extend your knowledge of aquaculture facilities such as pond aquaculture systems, cage systems and recirculation aquaculture systems for the production of aquatic animals and maintenance of suitable water quality.
