Learning unit contents
This course gives through an integrated approach the basis of fish biology related with aquaculture and fisheries. It is dived in 5 chapters:
- Introduction: aquaculture and fisheries 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.
- Methods of fish tagging and observation in connection with applications for the management of fishery resources and aquaculture
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Through an integrative knowledge of the fish biology, the student has the bases necessary for the comprehension, interpretation and exploitation of the assets in the context of the aquaculture and fisheries.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Biology and chemistry, cellular biology, animal physiology
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Control of reproduction and artificial spawning of several fish species, larval rearing and weaning, effect of food on the growth, measure of metabolism, genetic markers. Analyzes of scientific articles in connection with the sets of themes approached in the course.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
First four-monthly period, schedule establishes by the secretariat of the Master.
Lectures given at the campus of Sart-Tilman
