Instructor's Office Hours: 10:00-11:00 or by appointment. Instructor s office hours policy: To ensure my presence during office hours, please schedule appointments during office hours listed above. If you are unable to meet during these hours, you may call, , or see me after class to schedule an appointment for another time. Description: This course is the overview of physical, biological and economic factors that influence the development of fish culture systems. Current world and US fish production practices will be compared. Emphasis will be given to propagation of recreational fish species and those subjects of conservation efforts. Course Objectives: 1. Gain proficiency with identification of production facilities used in aquaculture worldwide and be able to characterize their operation features and environmental concerns. 2. Acquire general and specialized knowledge of biology, physiology, nutrient requirement, reproduction or diseases of selected North American and worldwide cultured fish species. 3. Gain practical knowledge and understanding of some basic procedures commonly used in aquaculture practices, such as gametes handling, blood sampling, etc.

5 Laboratory Schedule Teams of 2-3 students (depending on the size of the class) will be formed around one of the proposed research topics listed below for their individual projects. Each project will be directly guided by a responsible graduate student within the aquaculture laboratory. Teams are expected to conduct individual project work during laboratory sessions each onday; however, working with live animals will require students to commit time outside of the designated lab period. The team will submit the report 2 days after the last day of classes and it will contribute 25% to their final grade in the course. Projects proposed: 1. Optimization of hobby cichlid species for aquarists and analyses of public preference for different housing environments. (Graduate mentor: John Grayson). 2. Growth and survival of cichlids in different saline environments (Undergraduate leader: Alayna Simison). 3. Comparison of compensatory growth between bighead carp of different ages (Graduate mentor: Shib Pattadar). 4. ertilization and rearing of Pearl danios utilizing novel rearing method (Graduate mentor: Thomas Delomas). 5. Effect of different formulated feeds on zebrafish growth and fertilization (entor: Dr. Dabrowski). **Please be aware that these projects involve live fish and that project topics are subject to change depending on the availability and readiness of the live fish the project aims to work with.
