Course Name : Therapeutics in Aquaculture
Code(Credit) : FSHM 2204(1-1-0)
Course Objectives
- Identify the fundamental principles of Therapeutics in aquaculture
Compare and contrast the specific pharmacology of the major classes of drugs, important distinctions among members of each class, the risks and benefits, in relation to the organ systems they affect, and the diseases for which they are used therapeutically.
Course Outcomes
CO1:To understand detailed mechanism of drug action at organ system/sub cellular/ macromolecular levels: PO1, PO2
CO2: To understood the application of basic pharmacological knowledge in the prevention and treatment of various fish diseases: PO1,pO2
PO1:Knowledge enhancement: Enhanced knowledge on concepts, essential facts, basics, principles and theories relating to fishery biology, biodiversity and aquatic environment, aquaculture, fish nutrition, fish physiology, genetics and biotechnology, fish processing, fisheries engineering, fish microbiology, fishery extension, economics, and biostatistics.
PO2:Professional and Entrepreneurial Skill development: Understanding the value and processes of life-long learning and professional
enhancement and entrepreneurship development.
