This subject discusses the factors which should be considered for the management of a system for culturing aquatic organisms. It addresses fundamental principles and concepts rather than describing how to grow a particular species. Therefore, as a result of studying this subject, students will be able to manage a design for a system for culturing any aquatic species. This subject shares lectures, tutorials and practical classes with AQ3005.
