Learning outcomes
The course provides fundamental knowledge about modern farming technologies of the major marine fish farming (sea bass and sea bream) and some promising new species of commercial interest. At the end of the course the student will acquire the technical and scientific knowledge to manage a modern system of marine aquaculture.
Course contents
Extensive aquaculture, examples of extensive aquaculture in Italy
Recirculation systems: operating units of a recirculating system
Intensive aquaculture production: marine species production, with particular reference to sea bream and sea bass. Hatchery, inland tanks, floating cages.
