Masters in Aquaculture and Fisheries. Introduction This Master has been designed to provide the student with advanced, specific and multidisciplinary training geared towards academic training, research and professionalization in Aquaculture. It will provide students with the basic knowledge, skills and skills that will enable them to design and carry out research in the field of aquaculture, design, manage and control marine and continental facilities, assess their environmental impact and respond to R & D & I of the sector, implementing strategies that allow the future development of the aquaculture industry. Why study the degree Aquaculture is a strategic sector of economic development for Galicia that needs more and more day-to-day human resources of high level of training. There are already organizations such as the Galician Institute for Training in Aquaculture (IGAFA) that feed the labor market of excellent aquaculture technicians to different degrees, but both the industry and the administration need higher graduates that can mainly be incorporated both in companies and in Different public institutions (technological centers, research centers, universities, etc.) to perform R + D + i tasks in Aquaculture. What is learned This Official Master has been designed to meet the professional and research needs in all areas related to Aquaculture. To ensure its success, the Master's degree combines the academic, professional and researcher approaches. This is why not only the three Universities of the Galician University System (SUG) participate, but also all the social entities that in Galicia are involved in any area related to Aquaculture,...

Mariculture

The graduate study in Mariculture lasts two year, i.e. four semesters (120  ECTS credits). Upon completion of the graduate study, student acquire the academic degree of Master in Mariculture. Finishing the graduate study, a student can opt for the postgraduate study  Applied Marine Science.

Career  prospects  in  aquaculture  are  multiple  and  primarily  involve  the  possibility of employment directly related to production, such as: cultivation,  maintenance, feeding, fishing, transportation etc., but also those related to the  management of spawning and farming centres. Smaller farming facilities in  aquaculture are mostly managed by one expert in charge of the complete  farming process, including company and financial management. Practical experience worldwide indicates that graduate experts in aquaculture  may find employment in numerous accompanying services to aquaculture  production, starting from the supply of equipment and food, the consumer  sales of fish and shellfish, through to consultancy in commercial enterprises  and in state institutions. Upon  completion  of  the  graduate  study  in  Mariculture  students  will  have  gained the skills required for independent work on the introduction of new  species of aquatic organisms into commercial aquaculture production....

Master in Aquaculture and Aquatic Resources Management (AARM)AARM is committed to improving regional institutional capacity in aquaculture and aquatic resources management and related fields through innovative approaches that integrate education, research and outreach.Asia contributes over 90% of global aquaculture production and plays a key role in the development of appropriate culture systems and technologies. Aquaculture production accounts for almost half of world fish supply and increases by 10%. It is expected to surpass capture fisheries production in the next 10 years. Further development of aquaculture is also expected to help us move away from dependence on overexploited capture fisheries resources and to enhance and conserve aquatic habitats and biodiversity; but this expansion should not exceed the carrying capacity of water resources.Wild aquatic resources are essential sources of nutrition for rural populations. Any degradation of these resources from over-fishing, use of illegal fishing gears, introduction of exotic fish, misuse of chemicals, agro-industrial waste discharge, deforestation, breeding ground degradation and dam construction that can lead to blocking of migratory pathways will have dramatic impacts on the nutritional and health status of rural people.Population growth, poverty, resource use conflicts, illegal activities, pollution, biodiversity conservation, policy and institutional gaps and conflicts are the major issues and problems in coastal management. A management approach that integrates sectors (government agencies, non-government organizations, community, etc.), disciplines (science, engineering and management), land- and sea-based activities (agriculture, livestock, aquaculture, fisheries, tourism, etc.) is important to address the various issues and problems in the coastal area....
