Available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Applied Science, Graduate Diploma, Master of Applied Science or Masters programs.

The relationships between important environmental parameters and the physiology of aquatic animals. Emphasis will be on how the animals adaptations relate to their ability to cope with their environment, whether it is a managed environment such as in aquaculture, the natural environment or a disturbed environment. This subject shares lectures, tutorials and practical classes with AQ3007.
