ECOLOGIA DELLA PESCA E ACQUACOLTURA SPERIMENTALE
(objectives)
Experimental Aquaculture.
During the course students will gain basic knowledge about the current state of the aquaculture sector, species of major interest, rearing techniques and methodologies currently used worldwide. At the end of the course, students are expected to have gained:
1)Knowledge and understanding concerning the current state and future trends of the aquaculture sector. 2)Applied knowledge and understanding of farming techniques and methodologies used worldwide. 3)Be able to make judgements by reading, understanding and critically evaluating scientific literature provided during the lectures. 4)Communication skills developed through the presentation of a scientific paper. 5)Learning skills by using proper technical language, reasoning abilities and critical thinking.

Aquaculture module program • History of aquaculture: Origins and historical notions relating to the birth of the breeding of aquatic organisms • Trends in aquaculture: Trends in the aquaculture sector at the global, European, national level. • Production methods: Overview of the most common farming systems. • Production cycles: Detail of the breeding methods for the species of greatest interest at the global level. • Triploidy induction and sex inversion: how to obtain sterile monosexual populations. • Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) principles relating to the operation of a recirculation system for aquaculture. • Decapod crustacean breeding techniques for conservation purposes: Homarus gammarus, Penaeus kerathurus. • Phenotypic plasticity: implications for stock enhancement programs. • Tagging: tagging techniques • Behavior, stress and animal welfare in aquaculture. • Environmental impact of aquaculture activities.
