This course acts as a bridging course for graduates from non-aquaculture programs who wish either to work in the aquaculture industry or to pursue a higher degree qualification in aquaculture. Traditional degrees in Australia, or those containing one or two broad based aquaculture units, lack the necessary 'hands-on' component for aquaculture and seldom provide the necessary in-depth knowledge on aquatic husbandry.
The course covers the important components of commercial aquaculture: biology, husbandry, technology and animal health.
