The Bachelor of Technology (Aquaculture) is the only course of its kind in South Australia and has the backing of industry through the South Australian Fishing Industry Council.
The focus is on combining a strong background in the natural sciences with an understanding of health and safety issues, practical and management issues, and business and communication skills.
One period of work experience at commercial aquaculture ventures helps to reinforce the information learned in lectures and practical sessions. Much of the practical work is carried out in our purpose-built aquarium systems at Flinders.
The course was established to provide you with the right combination of skills needed to be a part of the next phase of aquaculture's growth or to make an important contribution to aquatic resource management through a variety of career paths.
Refer to the program of study.
Aquaculture is applied science at the most practical level - and is more than just fish farming. Aquaculture includes the production of molluscs (including oysters, abalone, mussels and scallops) and crustaceans (shrimps, prawns, freshwater and marine crayfish), and even aquatic plants such as seaweed.
Aquaculture is not just a matter of growing fish and selling them, it is a complex industry requiring scientific and business skills.
