Aquaculture via distance learning
This Bachelor's Degree of Aquaculture deals with the breeding and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae, and other organisms in all types of water environments. It’s a similar concept to agriculture, but with fish instead of plants or livestock. The demand for seafood is increasing, so technology has made it possible to grow food in freshwater, coastal marine waters and the open ocean. Aquaculture is used to produce food and other commercial products, restore habitat and replenish wild stocks, and rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species.
