The degree programme in Aquaculture and Fish Production Hygiene sets out to create professionals working in all branches of aquatic-animal rearing, such as technical, hygiene and economic management of zootechnical farms in the fish sector (aquaculture or mariculture expert), as well as firms supplying technical means and services, and firms engaged in transforming and commercializing fish products. Graduates may also practise as freelance Agricultural Technicians and Graduate Agricultural Technicians (a Europe-wide qualification). The degree programme trains technicians to devise and manage projects tailored to the company for which they are working. 


The particular work of the graduate will entail:


1) breeding and rearing aquatic organisms, and especially improving the quality and quantity of fish stocks, introducing innovative ideas; checking the health, well-being, eco-friendliness and any pathology in aquacultured animals, in particular fish, shellfish and molluscs.


2) assessing the hygiene, quality and food safety of fish products, using veterinary biomedical laboratory techniques; managing water farms with a view to producing, transforming and marketing the fish products.


The learning model employed is inductive, based on the simultaneous teaching of a mixture of basic, technical/professional and transversal know-how.


This programme is available in Italian.
