Aquaculture Systems Engineering
Credits: 2 PDH
PDH Course Description:
This course provides a comprehensive overview of aquaculture systems from an engineering perspective. It is designed to familiarize professionals with the design, operation, optimization, and sustainability of aquaculture systems used in freshwater and marine environments. Topics include water treatment, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), flow dynamics, nutrient management, structural and mechanical components, and environmental considerations. Emphasis is placed on integrating biological needs with mechanical and civil engineering principles to promote efficient and sustainable food production. The course is suitable for engineers involved in civil, environmental, mechanical, and agricultural systems design.Topics:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:- Understand the engineering principles involved in aquaculture facility design and operation
- Identify and analyze water quality parameters critical to aquaculture systems
