Summary in the original language of the document
The course is made up of 11 modules including 9 topics in 103 educational videos and over 400 assessment questions. The modules cover various topics, including the biology of the four species groups (molluscs, macroalgae, echinoderms, freshwater fish), the design and operation of the cultivation practices, and their environmental impact. Furthermore, you will explore the economic and social aspects of aquaculture and the policies and regulations that govern the industry. The interdisciplinary approach will deepen your understanding of the subject matter and provide you with the knowledge and skills essential to contribute to a sustainable industry.
A YouTube video (link below) gives a short introduction about the course.
Summary translation
Kurset består av 11 moduler inkludert 9 emner i 103 pedagogiske videoer og over 400 vurderingsspørsmål. Modulene dekker ulike emner, inkludert biologien til de fire artsgruppene (molussker, makroalger, pigghuder, ferskvannsfisk), utforming og drift av dyrkingspraksis, og deres miljøpåvirkning. Videre vil du utforske de økonomiske og sosiale aspektene ved akvakultur og politikken og regelverket som styrer næringen. Den tverrfaglige tilnærmingen vil utdype din forståelse av emnet og gi deg kunnskapen og ferdighetene som er avgjørende for å bidra til en bærekraftig industri.

| Teaser: | Explore cultivation practices for low trophic species and contribute to the sustainable development of food production in the aquaculture secor. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Climate change and increased pressures on freshwater and land resources challenge global food security. In search of a solution, our attention has turned to marine aquaculture. Food coming from marine aquaculture is known to have some of the lowest carbon footprints among animal products. Moreover, producing marine food at a lower trophic level delivers additional environmental benefits through ecosystem services, which are fundamental to creating a sustainable food system. Thus, there is a need to promote low trophic aquaculture & train future experts, especially because there are limited educational resources on low trophic aquaculture while the demand for online education is high. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | This free interdisciplinary online course takes you on a journey of exploring the principles and practices of low trophic aquaculture provides a holistic view of the most recent developments in the field. The course is aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students in aquaculture, sustainable development, sustainable business, biology and other related field, current and future practitioners in the aquaculture, fisheries and food sectors who wish to gain insights into current production practices and future trends as well as sustainable development and business opportunities in low trophic aquaculture and educators who wish to go beyond their level of expertise and expand their classroom activities by introducing a “flipped classroom” - where students learn online while bringing the homework to class to discuss with fellow students. |
