Aquaculture Farm Management & Regulations (in PDC in Aquaculture Farm Management & Sustainability in Specialist Diploma in Aquaculture Management & Technology)
About This Course
The SDAMT is designed to enable adult learners to deepen their knowledge and skills, as well as develop specialisations in the aquaculture domain. As aquaculture production intensifies, farms need more precise and scalable ways of monitoring the health of their animals and the environmental conditions that will impact sustainable production.
Innovative modules such as Precision Fish Farming & Operations (PFFOps) aim to impart specialised skills to meet the evolving industry demands. Besides foundational knowledge of aquaculture practices, the specialised training will cover advanced technologies for precision farming, data-driven decision-making, and efficient operations management. Graduates of this programme will be better prepared to excel in a rapidly changing aquaculture landscape, where precision and sustainable practices are paramount.
