 | | Biological bases of aquaculture |
|
| This course gives through an integrated approach the basis of fish biology related with aquaculture. It is dived in 5 chapters:
- Introduction: aquaculture status
- Reproductive biology: endocrinology, effect on environmental factors on reproductive cycle and on spawning, gamete composition, control of gamete quality, sexual maturation and spawning.
- Genetic: genetics of qualitative and quantitative phenotypes, genetic and environmental sex determinisms, sex control, transgenesis.
- Bioenergetic: metabolism, effect of environmental and biological factors on growth
- Fish stress: endocrinology of stress, physiological response to acute and chronic stressors. |
| | Psychophysiological equilibria and welfare in fish |
|
| Course will focuse on fish behaviour in aquaculture and the use in production as artificial reproduction and stress control. Aspects on fish welfare will be exemplified. |
|
|
