Marine Aquaculture and Aquarium Sciences (MAAS)

Fisheries and Wildlife 433X/533X

FW 433X CRN # 43268
FW 533X CRN # 43269

New -Professional training modules

Instructors: Dr. Chris Langdon and Dr. Tim Miller-Morgan

OSU, Hatfield Marine Science Center

Course Description:
6 credits
The course will focus on both the concepts and practice of marine aquaculture and aquarium sciences and will be made up of a series of lectures, field trips and group projects. Basic concepts of water quality, nutrition, genetics, disease recognition, health management and biosecurity will be covered in the first week. The application of these concepts to oyster culture, salmon culture, marine ornamental and intensive recirculation systems will be discussed in the subsequent three weeks. Students will participate in daily hands-on laboratory experiences and select a laboratory project and work in groups over the 4-week period to produce written and oral reports. The projects will be designed to introduce students to a wide range of culture techniques and may take place at various facilities in the surrounding area.
Experts from OSU, HMSC, the surrounding community and other NW institutions will be invited to teach parts of the course. Field trips to a wide range of aquaculture and aquarium facilities will take place, including the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the new Fall Creek salmon hatchery.
The course will be designed for seniors and graduate students but open to students from the Aquarium Science degree at OCCC as well as professionals.
