Advanced Aquaculture

Faculty: Debashish Tripathy

Course Name : Advanced Aquaculture


Code(Credit) : CUTM1442(3-1-0)


Course Objectives

• The goal of the Aquaculture Biology specialization is to give a theoretical basis and practical experience for understanding the biological principles in aquatic food production.
• The specialization is intended to give a solid background for students who wish to work in aquaculture or related industries, or to pursue further research.

Learning Outcomes

• Students will  understand  the basis of technologies of fisheries and aquaculture.
• Students will develop a better understanding of the history of aquaculture and different production systems employed for better production.
• Basic knowledge on Aquaculture will promote the students for research activities and encourage them for higher studies.
