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.
