Aquaculture is not just the farming of fish – it is much more: It concerns a sector that has a significant environmental impact, but also excellent potential for improving sustainability. To operate an aquaculture system successfully, knowledge of biology, ecology, engineering, economics, law and ethics must all be combined. In this module, you will acquire the skills to judge the ecological and economical sustainability of a circulation system for producing food from live animals, which, by its very nature, is subject to close societal scrutiny. You will acquire a skill set that is of importance beyond aquaculture, which will enable you to apply interdisciplinary knowledge in the real world to make informed decisions about resource allocation and (re)use.
