What you'll learn

  • Learn the water quality management, variables involved
  • Evaluate ways to prevent and treat water contamination in aquaculture system
  • Understand the nutritional requirement for common aquaculture species
  • Learn how to use data formulated by scientist in aquaculture nutrition for your aquaculture species feed
  • Discover different types of live feed that can be culture at the hatchery conveniently in small or large scale
  • Pick up the tips and tricks of feeding strategies to gain the optimum yield

Course content

3 sections • 36 lectures • 1h 54m total length

  • Introduction to water quality variables0:46

    Learn how water quality variables drive aquaculture success by constantly monitoring to protect ecosystems. Prevent stress on aquatic species and reduce disease across extensive to intensive systems.

  • Temperature1:39

    Explore how temperature drives water quality and aquatic health in aquaculture, including cold, cool, and warm water ranges for species like salmon, trout, yellow perch, tilapia, and catfish.

  • Turbidity2:58

    Assess turbidity to gauge water clarity from suspended solids like soil and algae, monitor with a turbidity tube and secchi disk, and aim for 30 cm visibility corresponding to NTU.

  • Dissolve oxygen3:04

    Monitor dissolved oxygen with DO meters, which rise with photosynthesis and drop at night, signaling fish stress; increase DO with wind-aligned pond design, aerators, splash inlets, and bottom water flushing.

  • pH1:00

    Understand pH, the 0–14 acidity scale, with an optimum 6.5–8.5 for most fish and shellfish; daylight reduces CO2 and raises pH, while darkness increases CO2 and lowers pH.

  • Solid1:32

    Define total solid as the residue left after water evaporates, and differentiate total dissolved solid from total suspension solid, where TDS are dissolved ions and TSS are suspended particles.

  • Salinity1:38

    Maintain salinity in freshwater aquaculture at 2–3 ppt to aid osmoregulation, electrolyte balance, mucus production, and immune function, while reducing stress and enabling parasite control.

  • Alkalinity2:12

    Learn how alkalinity buffers pond water with carbonate and bicarbonate to maintain 50–150 mg/L calcium carbonate, while water hardness and calcium support osmoregulation and shellfish molting.

  • Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate1:52

    Master the nitrogen cycle and monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in aquaculture. See how pH and temperature elevate ammonia and how Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter form nitrite and nitrate.

  • Equipments to measure water quality0:54

    Explore multi-parameter equipment that measures pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature in one device, plus TDS meters and salinity; turbidity via a secchi disk, and ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate with tests.

  • How to prevent water pollution2:23

    Prevent water pollution in aquaculture by avoiding and properly managing chemical and drug waste, and controlling metabolic waste such as uneaten feed and excretion to prevent eutrophication and oxygen depletion.

  • High pH and phytoplankton control3:06

    optimize feed protein to the optimum level to reduce nitrogen and ammonia from uneaten feed, and manage high pH and phytoplankton with pond prep, daily monitoring, and copper sulfate algaecide.

  • Turbidity control and probiotic uses2:17

    Discover turbidity control methods using gypsum and alum to clot clay and adjust minerals, and apply probiotics like EM-1 to improve pond water quality across salinities.

  • Lesson review1:10

    Review water quality management by examining quality variables and their optimal levels for aquaculture species. Explore preventing and treating contamination with high pH control, phytoplankton control, turbidity control, and probiotics.

  • Supplementary articles6:32
  • Quiz

Description

Becoming Aquaculture Expert (Part 2) is the next step (after 'Becoming Aquaculture Expert (Part 1)' course that I've initiated previously) into realising your ideas to become a sustainable aquaculture producer. It is designed specifically to provide an overview of aquaculture as the way to farm seafood economically and sustainably. 

Since the demand of seafood is increasing, aquaculture industry is growing endlessly to keep a consistent supply of aquatic species for human consumption, pets, medication, recreation, etc and limit the harvesting from wild population. It put a relieve in wild species which would allow them to naturally populate and bring lives back to our ocean.

This  2  hours course contains  36  lectures which include detail explanation videos, supplementary articles and quizzes in each section to help you test your understanding along the way. 

To help you grasp the knowledge efficiently, I've included 3 supplementary articles for every section to support what you have learn through the videos.The articles will includes references and links of additional resources of related knowledge and will be updated from time to time.

The content of this course is backed by 100% of research from experts in the leading field of aquaculture. Through learning this course, you will become better at managing the most important aspect of your aquaculture system; water and feed respectively. As I will continuously update the content of this course over the time, you will be equipped with the latest research, technology and skills available in aquaculture business.

Afraid not.. 

You will be able to access this course anywhere, anytime at your own pace. If you are already an aquaculturist  for a living, learning specific knowledge from  a researcher point of view such as in this course  will bring you to another level. 

If you are a student or beginner in aquaculture field, this course is perfectly crafted for you. Those completing the course will have strong understanding of basic aquaculture concept and general principle involved in aquaculture system. 


Who this course is for:

  • This course is for beginners and students who want to learn more about aquaculture business
  • Lifelong learning individuals who want to enhance their knowledge
  • Aquaculturist who have desires to expand their knowledge on aquaculture business
