INTRODUCTION OF DEPARTMENT OF AQUACULTURE

Due to the increasing demand for human resource training for the Northern fisheries sector, the Department of Aquaculture was re-established in 2004, under the former Faculty of Livestock and Aquaculture. In 2015, the Department was the core to establish the Faculty of Fisheries and was in charge of the Aquaculture training program. Currently, the Department has 7 permanent members and 4 contract members, including 01 Associate Professor, 04 PhDs, 04 Masters and 02 Engineers.

The Department of Aquaculture is a discipline that specializes in techniques and technologies for the cultivation of aquatic species, including fish, shrimp, crabs, polychaetes, oysters, clams, microalgae and others. The department studies and applies aquaculture techniques to enhance fish production and quality, as well as optimize economic efficiency and protect the environment. The department also trains and researches on topics related to fisheries management, economics, and technology, thereby creating effective plans and solutions for aquaculture farmers.

The department provides students with courses including crustacean hatchery and farming techniques, mollusc hatchery and farming techniques, marine fish hatchery and farming techniques, ornamental fish hatchery and aquaculture techniques, freshwater fish breeding and farming techniques, specialty aquaculture techniques, taxonomy of crustaceans and molluscs and fish, aquatic animal physiology, general aquaculture, genetics and selective breeding in aquaculture, aquaculture facilities and equipment.

We have student-centered faculty who are dedicated to the career and character development of their students. Our programs provide a learning environment that includes classroom and laboratory instruction, and since most of the profession’s work is out of the office, our students spend a lot of time elsewhere. reality. We also encourage students to engage in scientific research so that you can work directly with leading research doctoral professors in the industry.

The department is committed to working alongside outstanding students to address the complex issues currently affecting fish and invertebrate production and management. Pollution, degradation, and depletion of freshwater and marine habitats of aquatic animals continue to reduce the quantity and quality of our aquatic resources, and the diversity and abundance of accessory organisms. dependence on these habitats, as well as the production and harvesting of commercially and recreationally important species.

The ecological and economic importance of fishery resources around the world forms the basis for a diverse training and research program in aquaculture and aquaculture biotechnology at the Department. Please see the pages introducing the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs to learn about the study program. You can also view Department member profiles for research interests and types of research projects in progress. We hope you will take the time to contact faculty about potential study and research opportunities and will seriously consider participating in study and research in the Department’s research projects.

The department values from the strengths and professional experiences that students, faculty, and staff bring to the community. We are committed to providing an outstanding educational program to all of our students, regardless of race, sex, class, nationality, physical ability, religion or age. We are proud of the various roles our students, staff and faculty play in the Department and Faculty communities.
