Welcome

The School of Aquaculture is at the forefront of teaching and research in Aquaculture. It was the first and largest University school in the Southern Hemisphere and welcomes students to a wide range of courses that lead to careers in the aquaculture industry as well as in broader areas of aquatic biology such as teaching, policy, conservation and research.

The School of Aquaculture has leading teaching and research facilities, including the most complete on-campus aquaculture centre and aquaculture research laboratories in the country. Take a closer look with our tour of the facilities.

The School is a major partner in the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI) with access to the Marine Research Laboratories at Taroona and the Fish Health Unit in Launceston for students’ professional placement and research projects. Staff work with a range of commercial partners including salmon, tuna and oyster farms, conservation groups, tourist ventures, technology developers, and aquafeed manufacturers.

The School of Aquaculture provides a stimulating learning environment that enables students to develop scientific and practical skills that are both commercially relevant and that allow a broader career in aquatic biology. Students come from
all over the world to study with us and this provides all our students with a rich international experience.
