BAE 586 Aquacultural Engineering
This course starts with a general background of aquaculture, both theoretical and practical. Based on this, engineering applications for both extensive (e.g. pond based) and intensive (e.g. recirculating aquaculture systems) culture systems are studied. Unit operations including biofiltration, aeration, degassing, sedimentation, pumps, piping and related topics, as well as mass balances provide quantitative engineering design tools. Transport, harvest, processing and food safety are discussed, and sustainability (ecological and environmental aspects of aquacultural engineering design) as well as cutting edge research in the area are covered. Field trips; guest lectures/discussion, and hands on work is included to provide practical applications and experience.
Typically offered in Spring only
