Course content

3 sections • 26 lectures • 2h 20m total length

Introduction to Fish Reproduction1:20
Explore fish reproduction from broodfish selection to spawning and larval rearing, enabling restocking and stock control for any fish species.
Reproduction Physiology4:35
Examine how environmental cues trigger pituitary gonadotropins via GnRH and GnRIF to drive gamete maturation, and how captivity may delay spawning and affect diversity.
Selecting Broodfish7:55
Hormone Administration4:17
Apply the Linpe method by combining LHRHa with dopamine antagonists to trigger gonadotropin release, consider latency periods, and determine dosage from body weight and injection volume.
Spawning Procedure5:43
Larval Rearing2:16
Becoming aquaculture expert (part 3) outlines larval rearing from hatching to early growth, including two-tank hatcheries, stocking 20-40 larvae per litre, and initial rotifers, moina, and daphnia as live feeds.
Supplementary Article (Reproduction)13:58

Introduction to Genetic1:09
Explore genetic technologies in aquaculture to enhance production, marketability, disease resistance, color, and conservation through long term selective breeding and short term tools like mono sex culture and triploidy.
Selective Breeding4:09
Explore selective breeding, mono sex culture, triploidy, and transgenic fish to boost growth, disease resistance, efficiency, and sustainability, and learn artificial selection, inbreeding prevention, and broodstock spawning strategies.
Selective Breeding Technique6:59
Use a random sample to set the cut-off value, account for fry and fingerling mortalities, and calculate the fingerlings needed to restock 200 brood fish.
Monosex1:45
Utilize monosex culture through sex reversal hormones and hybridisation to produce all-male tilapia stocks. Apply 17a methyl testosterone to 18-day fries to convert females into males, noting wastewater risks.
Triploid5:07
Triploid fish, with 3n chromosomes, are sterile and used to control reproduction, reduce disease spread, and boost growth and profitability in aquaculture.
Transgenic2:47
Supplementary Article (Genetic)7:32

Introduction to Disease1:02
Explore disease and prevention in aquaculture, learn why prevention matters. Differentiate manageable diseases from fast-sweeping outbreaks, and review strategies like medication, water temperature adjustments, and vaccination.
What causes Disease6:29
Stress from poor water quality, handling, and nutrition interacts with pathogens to cause infectious or non-infectious disease in aquaculture, while mucous, inflammation, and antibodies defend the fish.
Disease Management Procedures5:34
Manage disease in recirculating systems by removing particulates and dissolved waste, using ozone or UV disinfection to protect biofilters and culture health. Enforce batch culture, quarantine, and strict hygiene.
Bacteria Pathogenic Disease5:08
Explore the five most common bacterial pathogens in aquaculture, including motile aeromonads septicaemia, enteric septicemia of catfish, bacterial cold water disease, mycobacterium, and vibriosis.
Bacteria Cold Water Disease6:29
Explore bacterial diseases in aquaculture, including bacterial cold water disease, mycobacteriosis, and vibriosis. Learn about causative bacteria, transmission routes, temperature effects, clinical signs, and prevention such as disinfection and vaccination.
Parasitic Infection3:35
Explores ectoparasite protozoa and internal metazoan parasites affecting fish gills and skin, outlines two-host life cycles, and summarizes key diseases like hamburger gill disease, white spot disease, and trichodina.
White Spot Disease6:37
Discover white spot disease (ich) lifecycle, quarantine new fish after 3 days of filling new filtered water, temperature effects, and early detection; learn about PKD and Trichodina in freshwater aquaculture.
Virus infection5:30
Analyze four fish viruses—cyprinid herpesvirus, tilapia lake virus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, and fish lymphocystis disease—focusing on latency, transmission, signs, and prevention.
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicaemia Virus3:21
Explore viral hemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) and fish lymphocytic disease (FLD), their fish hosts, transmission, temperature dynamics, clinical signs, lab confirmation, and control measures like UV treatment and hatchery disinfection.
Disease Treatments1:48
Learn to treat common fish diseases with early diagnosis, remove ulcers and scales, anesthetize large ulcers, apply KMnO4 or iodine, use salt baths, and consider medicated feeds or veterinary care.
Conclusion1:04
Prioritize disease monitoring in your aquaculture farm to prevent future problems, while ensuring water quality, stock sources, culture systems, and hatcheries.
Supplementary Article (Disease)24:33

Description

Becoming Aquaculture Expert (Part 3) is the next step (after 'Becoming Aquaculture Expert (Part 2)' course that I've initiated previously) into realising your ideas to become a sustainable aquaculture producer. This is the final course of Becoming Aquaculture Expert series (Part 1-3) that I've created. 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 2.5 hours course contains 26 lectures which include detail explanation videos and supplementary articles in each section to guide you along the way.

Becoming Aquaculture Expert (Part 3) will bring to you interesting topics including

Hormone inducing method for fish breeding
Natural spawning and hand stripping technique
Selecting broodstock for spawning
Larvae rearing
Selective breeding
Monosex culture
Triploidy
Transgenic
Bacteria pathogenic disease
Parasitic pathogenic disease
Viral pathogenic disease
Biosecurity measure
Disease management

To help you grasp the knowledge efficiently, I've included a supplementary article 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 be able to breed your fish of interest either for your own consumption, generate side income or just to be your cool pets. Besides, you will discover genetic technology in aquaculture, which can be utilised in your own farm to produce the desirable traits that you prefer. Disease in aquaculture is also one of the main issue that need clarification especially to the farmers. This course will cover major disease in aquaculture and how to manage and prevent them from entering your farm.

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
